Positive control results:
Experiment performed in May 2010.
Positive control substance: 2-Hexylcinnamaldehyde
Vehicle: acetone:olive oil (4+1)

BG = Background (1 ml 5% trichloroacetic acid) in duplicate
1 = Control Group
2-4 = Test Group
S.I. = Stimulation Index
a) = The mean value was taken from the Sgures BG I and BG II
b) = Since the lymph nodes of the animals of a dose group were pooled, DPM/node was determined by dividing the measured value by the number of lymph nodes pooled
