Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
Essentially similar to the Buehler test.
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Number of animals < 20 and multiple injections instead of only one.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Landsteiner and Jacobs Guinea Pigs Sensitization Procedure
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Study is performed before introduction of the LLNA method as a sensitization study.

In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
guinea pig
Strain:
not specified
Sex:
male
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
A group of 10 white male guinea pigs weighing300-500 grams were identified and housed individually.
The hair was removed from their backs with an electric clipper prior to initiation of study and whenever necessary throughout the study.
They subsisted on commercial rabbit pellets, greens, carrots and water.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
1) The test material, when intra-cutaneously injected produced scores identical to that of the control (distilled water).
2) On the challenge (re-test) injection, none of the test animals exhibited reactions higher than the average of the original scores.
3} The test material is considered to be a non-sensitizer (score 0. 0).
