Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Species: Albino rabbit, New Zealand White, (SPF-Quality).
Number of animals: 3 males
Age and body weight: Animals used within the study were at least 6 weeks old and body weights were at least 1.0 kg.
Conditions
Animals were housed in a controlled environment, in which optimal conditions were considered to be approximately 15 air changes per hour, a temperature of 21.0 ± 3.0°C (actual range: 21.0
- 22.3°C), a relative humidity of 30-70% (actual range: 44- 78%) and 12 hours artificial
fluorescent light and 12 hours darkness per day.
Cleaning procedures in the room might have caused the temporary fluctuations above the optimal maximum level of 70% for relative humidity. Based on laboratory historical data, these fluctuations were considered not to have affected the study integrity.
Accommodation
Individually in labeled cages with perforated floors (Scanbur, Denmark, dimensions 56x44x37.5 cm). Acclimatization period was at least 5 days before start of treatment under laboratory conditions.
Diet
Pelleted diet for rabbits (K-H from SSNIFF® Spezialdiaten GmbH, Soest, Germany) approximately 100 grams per day. Hay (Tecnilab-BMI BV, Someren, The Netherlands) was provided at least three times a week.
Water
Free access to tap water
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- not required
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 29.5 mg of the test substance, with a volume of approximately 0.1 ml
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 24 h
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 7 days
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- The study was performed in a stepwise manner and was started by treatment of a single rabbit (sentinel). The two other animals were treated in a similar manner 5 weeks later, after considering the degree of eye irritation observed in the first animal
Animals were treated by instillation of, on average, 29.5 mg (range 29.2 - 30.0 mg) of the test substance (a volume of approximately 0.1 ml), in the conjunctival sac of one of the eyes after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test substance. The other eye remained untreated and served as the reference control.
Immediately after the 24-hour observation, a solution of 2% fluorescein (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) in water (adjusted to pH 7.0) was instilled into both eyes of each animal to quantitatively determine corneal epithelial damage. Any bright green stained area, indicating epithelial damage, was estimated as a percentage of the total corneal area.
