MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method:LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: a test item is regarded as a sensitizer if (1) the exposure to at least one concentration of the test item resulted in an incorporation of 3HTdR at least 3-fold or greater than that recorded in control mice, as indication by the stimulation index, and (2) that the data are comparable with a conventional dose response
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Topical Application - Each test group of mice was treated by a topical (epidermal) application to the dorsal surface of each ear (left and right) with different test item concentrations of 25, 50, or 100% in acetone:olive oil (4:1). The application volume was spread over the entire dorsal surface of each ear once daily for three consecutive days. A further group was treated with the vehicle alone.
Five days after the first topical application, all mice were administered with 250 microliters of 78.3 microCi/ml 3HTdR by intravenous injection via a tail vein. Approximately 5 hours after treatment with 3HTdR all mice were euthanized buy intraperitonal injection of Pentobarbial-Natrium. The draining lymph nodes were excised and pooled. Single-cell suspensions were prepared and washed with phosphate buffered saline twice and then suspended in 5% tricholoracetic acid. Then the cells were incubated for 18 hours and the precipatates were resuspended in 5% tricholoracetic acid and transferred to plastic scintillation vials and mixed. The level of 3HtdR incorporation was measured on a beta-scintillation counter. - Positive control substance(s):
- other: none
- Statistics:
- The mean values and standard deviations were calculated in the body weight tables.

Any other information on results incl. tables
No deaths occurred during the study period. No symptoms of local toxicity at the ears of the animals and no systemic findings were observed during the study period. The body weights of animals, recorded prior to the first application and prior to treatment with 3HTdR, was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.
