Main test: 5, 10 and 25% w/w in propylene glycol
No. of animals per dose:
4 females per dose

- Irritation: applied 3 consecutive days and observed up to day 6; any irritation was noted during this time
- Lymph node proliferation response: NDA

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA, 25%, 10% or 5% in propylene glycol applied on dorsal surface of ear 3 days in a row; [3H]-methyl thymidine was injected. All animals were observed daily, and weighed on day 1 and 6.
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: proliferation response was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per mintue per lymph node and ratio of [3H]TdR incoproration relative to that recorded for control nodes was called the stimulation index. Material considered a sensitiser if ant least one cncentration resulted in a 3-fold greated incresase in radioactive incorporation compared tho the control values.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION: Test material was formulated withing 2 h of application; it was assumed that the formulation was stable; no analysis was conducted of compound, this is a deviation with regard to GLP.
Positive control substance(s):
other: phenylacetaldehyde (90%)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
2.5% phenylacetaldehyde in propylene glycol resulted in a stimulation index of 4.2; it was considered to be a sensitiser

Conclusions:
The test material was considered to be a non-sensitiser under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the skin sensitisation potential of the test material in the CBA/Ca strain mouse following topical application to the dorsal surface of the ear. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following: OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No. 429 "Skin Sensitisation: Local Lymph Node Assay" (adopted 24 April 2002) and Method B42 Skin Sensitisation (Local Lymph Node Assay) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008

Following a preliminary screening test in which no clinical signs of toxicity were noted at a maximum attainable concentration of 25% w/w, this concentration was selected as the highest dose investigated in the main test of the Local Lymph Node Assay. Three groups, each of four animals, were treated with 50 µl (25 µl per ear) of the test material as a suspension in propylene glycol at concentrations of 25%,10% or 5% w/w. A further group of four animals was treated with propylene glycol alone.

The Stimulation Index expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for each treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group are as follows:
