Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitising
Conclusions:
The study concluded that the test substance D & C Red no. 33 (CAS no: 3567-66-6) was considered as non skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

The Maximization test of test chemical was conducted in female 15 (10 test and 5 control) Guinea pig to determine the degree of sensitization caused by the chemical. The intradermal induction of sensitization in the test group was performed in the nuchal region with a 5% dilution of the test item in 1% CMC and in an emulsion of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) / physiological saline. The epidermal induction of sensitization was conducted for 18 hours under occlusion with the test item at 25% in 1% CMC one week after the intradermal induction. The test areas are pretreated with 10 sodium-laureth-sulfates (SLS) 24 hours prior to application of the test item. The animals of the control group were intradermally induced with 1% CMC and FCA/physiological saline and epidermally induced with 1% CMC under occlusion following pre-treatment with 10% SLS. Cutaneous reactions were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing. No known skin sensitization reactions were observed in treated as well as control group. Hence the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing.
