In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
mouse
Strain:
CBA/Ca
Sex:
female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Age: 8-12 wk

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
dimethylformamide
Concentration:
10.0%, 25.0%, 50.0%
No. of animals per dose:
4
Details on study design:
Mice received daily topical application for 3 consecutive days with 25 µL of one of three concentrations of the test chemical on the dorsum of each ear. Control mice were treated with vehicle alone in an identical manner. 5 days after the first topical application, all mice were injected iv with 250 µL PBS containing 20 µCi of [³H]methyl thymidine

TG was also positive in 100% of participants in a human maximization test using 10% and 5% TG for induction and challenge, respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
TB showed an EC3 of ca. 4%. It is therefore considered a moderate skin sensitizer (Skin Sens 1B).
