Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS: The concentrations of the test compound for induction and challenge periods were determined on separate animals.

A. MAIN STUDY
Test Group:
First induction week: 0.1 ml of a freshly prepared adjuvant saline mixture was injected intracutaneously at 4 sites on the animal's neck. The test compounds were applied on filter patches (2 x 4 cm) to the epidermis over the injection sites for 24 hours under an occlusive dressing.

Second induction week: The test compound was applied in the same way as during the first week for 48 hours occlusively.

Challenge: After a rest period of 14 days the compound was applied on filter paper patches (2 x 2 cm) to an untreated flank skin of the animals for 24 hours epidermal occlusively.

Twenty four hours after removing the dressings the challenge reactions were graded according to the Draize scoring scale.

Control group:
A control group was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test compound to control the maximal subirritant concentration of the test compound in adjuvant treated animals.

Positive control substance(s):

no
