Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Title:
Structure activity relationships in a skin sensitization using the murine local lymph node assay
Author:
Ashby J, Basketter DA, Paton D AND Kimber I
Year:
1995
Bibliographic source:
Toxicology 103: 177-194

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Proliferation of local lymph node was determined by means of increased 3H-thymidine incorporation. A threefold increase compared with vehicle-treated controls was considered to be determinant of sensitising capacity.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
mouse local lymph node assay (LLNA)

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Topical dosing of test substance
Positive control substance(s):
other: 106 chemicals are listed in the evaluation, some of which are known sensitizing agents
Statistics:
