Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
To determine the highest non-irritant test concentration or the highest technically applicable concentration, a pretest was performed in two mice on three consecutive days. The data of a solubility experiment showed that the highest test item concentration, which
could be technically used was a 10 % solution. At concentrations of 1 and 2.5% the treated mouse did not show any signs of irritation. At concentrations of 5 and 10% the treated mouse showed reddening of the ear skin only after the third application of the test
item. The test item in the main study was, therefore, assayed at 2.5, 5, and 10%.


MAIN STUDYANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: OECD TG 429
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: 3-fold greater response at one concentration in SI than control animals

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
a) Topical application of 25 µL test item preparation (test group) or vehicle (control group)
b) five days after topical application: iv application of 3H-methyl thymidin
c) prior each treatment (a and b) ear thickness measurementd) five hours after treatment (b) necropsy and analysis of the 3H thymidin incorporation in draining lymph nodese) method: pooled per animal
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
