- No. of animals per dose:
- 20 in test group and 10 in naive control group
- Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Test to determine the highest non-irrritating concentration of the test substance to be used as challenge dose. The test substance was applied in concentrations of 100, 75, 50 and 25% to the shaved test side using an occlusive Hill Top Chamber and gently removed after 6h exposure (identical to main study). Approximately 24 h after application, each site was evaluated for local irritation reactions.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
27 days after the first induction dose
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 1
- Exposure period: 6 h
- Site: right side of each animal
- Concentrations: 75%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after the challenge application - Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- technical alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde (historical control)
