Vehicle:
not specified
Details on exposure:
ADMINISTRATION/EXPOSURE 
- Preparation of test substance for induction:   hapten alone and conjugation with guinea pig serum albumin (GPA)
- Induction schedule: multiple intradermal injections for 3-5 months,  total dose ca. 250 µl
- Concentration in Freunds Complete Adjuvant (FCA):   IPDI-GPA conjugate applied emulsified in FCA
- Challenge schedule: subcutaneous injection 5 days before being bled of  animals
Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
not specified
Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:

Duration of treatment / exposure:
3-5 months
Frequency of treatment:
Induction schedule: multiple intradermal injections for 3-5 months,  total dose ca. 250 µl
No. of animals per sex per dose:
4
Details on study design:
The immunologic evaluation of allergenic hapten-protein conjugates with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) was reported. The specificity of the  
IPDI-ovalbumine was verified with antiserum by ELISA. The reactivity of  guinea-pig sera to an IPDI-ovalbumine conjugate after aerosol- or  
intradermal exposure of donor animals to IPDI was tested using ELISA  optical density at 490 nm.

Examinations

Observations and clinical examinations performed and frequency:
not described
Sacrifice and pathology:
bleeding of animals 5 days after challenge, examinations not described
Cell viabilities:
not applicable
Humoral immunity examinations:
Examination of guinea pig sera for IgG1 and IgG2 with reactivity for hapten-conjugates
Specific cell-mediated immunity:
not described
Non-specific cell-mediated immunity:
not descibed
Other functional activity assays:
no
Other examinations:
attempts to demonstrate activity in these sera by passive hemagglutination have not been successful. However, absorption of positive sera with hapten-conjugate-bearing sheep red blood cells specifically reduced ELISA reactivity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Significant quantities of anaphylactically active class of immunoglobulin have been found in sera from guinea pigs sensitised to IPDI only by dermal exposure. No significant increase of anaphylactically active class of immunoglobulin have been found in sera from guinea pigs sensitised to IPDI by inhalation of IPDI aerosol.
Executive summary:

The immunologic evaluation of allergenic Isophorone diisocyanate-protein conjugates was reported. Antibodies to the test item have been detected by an ELISA procedure. In detail, significant quantities of anaphylactically active class of immunoglobulin have been found in sera from guinea pigs sensitised to IPDI only by dermal exposure. No significant increase of anaphylactically active class of immunoglobulin have been found in sera from guinea pigs sensitised to IPDI by inhalation of IPDI aerosol. These antibodies were specifically inhibited by homologous hapten.
