MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The test item is regarded as a sensitizer in the LLNA if exposure to at least one concentration of the test item results in an incorporation of 3H thymidine is at least 3-fold or greater than that recorded in control mice, as indicated by the stimulation index (SI ≥ 3.0). However, the biological relevance of the obtained stimulation indices is considered in conjunction with the other assessed end points (i.e. cell counts, lymph node weights, ear weights). Hereby, the thresholds used for assessment of cell counts and ear weights are represented by stimulation indices (SI) of 1.5 and 1.25, respectively.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- Groups of tested animals: 3 treatment groups and 1 vehicle control group, 5 animals per group
- Body weight determination: Individual body weights on day 0 prior to the first application and on day 5 prior to the sacrifice of the animals.
- Signs and symptoms: Obvious signs of systemic toxicity and/or local inflammation at the application sites were noted for each animal.
- Mortality: A check for moribund and dead animals was made twice each workday (beginning and end) and once on Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays.
- Form of administration: Epicutaneous application (simulating dermal contact with the compound which is possible to occur under practical use conditions)
- Application volume: 25 µL per ear
- Site of application: Dorsal part of both ears
- Frequency of application: 3 consecutive applications (day 0 – day 2) to the same application site
- 3H-thymidine injection: On day 5 of the experiment mice were injected into a tail vain with 20 µCi of 3H-thymidine in 250 µL of sterile saline.

TERMINAL PROCEDURE
- The animals were sacrificed on study day 5 about 5 hours after the 3H-thymidine injection.
- Determination of ear weight: Immediately after the death of each animal a circular piece of tissue (diameter 0.8 cm) was punched out of the apical part of each ear of all animals. The weight of the pooled punches was determined for each animal. These measurements serve for detecting a potential inflammatory ear swelling.
- Removal and weight determination of lymph nodes: Immediately after removal of the ear punches the left and right auricular lymph nodes were dissected. The weight of the pooled lymph nodes from both sides was determined for each animal.
- Preparation of cell suspension and determination of cell count: After weight determination, the pooled lymph nodes of each animal were stored in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) in an ice-water bath until further preparation. A single cell suspension was prepared as soon as possible after dissection by carefully passing the lymph nodes through an iron mesh (mesh size 200 µm) into 6 mL of phosphate-buffered physiological saline. For determination of cell counts, an aliquot of each suspension was further diluted with Casy®ton in a ratio 1:500. The cell count was determined using a Casy®-Counter.
- Measurement of 3H-thymidine incorporation: The remaining cell suspensions were washed twice with PBS and precipitated with 5% trichloro-acetic acid (TCA). Each precipitate was transferred to scintillation fluid and incorporation of 3H-thymidine into the cells was measured in a β-scintillation counter.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Statistics:
- Parameter: 3H-thymidine incorporation, cell count, lymph node weight and ear weight
- Statistical test: WILCOXON test

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The application of hexylcinnamaldehyde at concentrations of 1%, 5% and 15% in methyl ethyl ketone resulted in a greater than 3-fold increase in isotope incorporation at the 15 % w/v concentrations. Therefore, hexylcinnamaldehyde was shown to be a skin sensitiser, confirming the validity of the protocol used for the study.

Cellular proliferation data / Observations:
CELLULAR PROLIFERATION AND EC3 VALUE
The threshold concentration for sensitisation induction was > 2.5% and < 5% for 3H-thymidine incorporation. The EC 3 (estimated concentration that leads to the SI of 3.0) for 3H-thymidine incorporation was calculated by linear regression from the results of these concentrations to be 3.1%, while the SI of 1.5 for cell count was > 5%.

EAR WEIGHTS
The test-substance preparations did not cause relevant increases in ear weights demonstrating the absence of ear skin irritation.

BODY WEIGHTS
The expected body weight gain was generally observed in the course of the study.

CLINICAL SIGNS
No signs of systemic toxicity were noticed in all animals during general observation.

LOCAL FINDINGS
Slight yellowish discoloration of the ear skin was noted in all animals treated with the test substance during the observation period. Slight scaling at the auricular fold was observed in all animals at all concentrations on study day 5. Moderate crust formation on the ear skin or slight scaling at the auricular fold was noted in 1 animal each of the vehicle control group on study day 5.
