Executive summary:

In order to study a possible contact allergenic potential of the test item, three groups each of four female mice were treated daily with the test item at concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, and 25 % (w/v) in methyl ethyl ketone by topical application to the dorsum of each ear lobe (left and right) for three consecutive days.

A control group of four mice was treated with the vehicle (methyl ethyl ketone) only.

Five days after the first topical application the mice were injected intravenously into a tail vein with radio-labelled thymidine (3H-methyl thymidine). Approximately five hours after intravenous injection, the mice were sacrificed, the draining auricular lymph nodes excised and pooled per group. Single cell suspensions of lymph node cells were prepared from pooled lymph nodes which were subsequently washed and incubated with trichloroacetic acid overnight.

The proliferative capacity of pooled lymph node cells was determined by the incorporation of 3H-methyl thymidine measured in a β-scintillation counter.

All treated animals survived the scheduled study period.

A test item is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA if the exposure to one or more test concentration resulted in 3-fold or greater increase in incorporation of 3HTdR compared with concurrent controls, as indicated by the Stimulation Index (S.I.). The estimated concentration of test item required to produce a S.I. of 3 is referred to as the EC3 value.

In this study Stimulation Indices of 1.1, 0.9, and 1.2 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, and 25 % (w/v) in methyl ethyl ketone. The EC3 value could not be calculated, since none of the tested concentrations induced an S.I. greater than 3.

CONCLUSION

The test item was found to be not a skin sensitiser under the described conditions.
