Any other information on results incl. tables

In the topical induction phase, there was very slight erythema noted after 24 hours in 7 animals.

The challenge results showed erythema in 11 (55%) animals straight after the 24 -h challenge and in 14 (70%) animals 24 hours later. At 48 h after challenge, 3 still showed a skin reaction. There were no responses in any control animal at any time point.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
A guinea-pig maximisation test conducted without GLP or positive controls but otherwise in a manner similar to the standard guideline reported 70% response to challenge with the test substance. A response of 30% or more in an adjuvant test indicates sensitization.
