Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitising
Conclusions:
After two range finding tests due to signs of systemic toxicity occurring at higher doses (50 and 100% of test material), 25% was chosen as top dose for the main test. 25 µL of three different concentrations were applied to the ear of mice once daily for 3 consecutive days. On day 6 the animals were euthanised and the lymph nodes prepared for the analysis. The calculated SI values for the treated mice were below 3 (1.2, 1.1 and 2.5 at 5%, 10% and 25% of the test material, respectively), the threshold for skin sensitisation. Neither an increase in the lymph node weight nor mortality or symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in any treatment group. No dose-related effects on body weight occured.

Therefore the test material did not reveal any skin sensitising properties in the modified local lymph node assay at any concentration tested.
