Details on study design:
Induction
Induction was first done by intradermal injection. Test animals were injected with 0.1 ml Freund Complete Adjuvant (FCA), 0.1 ml of 25% test substance in water, and 0.1 ml test substance in FCA in water (final concentration 25%). Control group was treated in a similar manner with only FCA and water. On day 7, a second, epicutaneous challenge was done. 0.5 ml of test susbtance (25%) was placed on gauze, and then placed on the animals. The animals were than bandaged, and the test substance remained in contact for 48 hrs. Control animals were exposed to vehicle only.

Challenge
0.2 ml of 12.5 % test article was placed on gauze, which was then placed on the test and control animals. Gauze containing only vehicle was placed on the left flank. The exposure lasted 24 hrs. Observations for irritation were made at 24 and 48 hrs after the end of exposure. Skin was scored for irritation using the Draize scale.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test substance is not sensitizing to skin.
Executive summary:

This test determined the potential of the test substance to be sensitizing to skin. 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs were given intradermal injections of 25% test solution. Control animals (5 male and 5 female) were given injections of vehicle only. One week later, a second induction was done by dermal exposure to 25% test solution for 24 hrs. Control animals were again exposed to vehicle only. On day 21, the challenge exposure was performed. All animals were exposed to 12.5% test solution dermally. Exposure was for 24 hrs, with observations made at 48 and 72 hrs after the start of exposure. No positive reactions were noted. The test substance is not sensitizing.
