- Source: reputable commercial supplier
- Age at study initiation: 8-12 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 389 - 450 g
- Housing: The animals were housed singly or in pairs in solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum):ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18-23°C
- Humidity (%): 51-74%
- Air changes (per hr): ca. 15 air changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12h light and 12h dark

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Route:
intradermal
Vehicle:
other: arachis oil and Freud's Complete Adjuvant (1:1 mixture with distilled water)
Concentration / amount:
0.1% w/v in arachis oil BP and 0.1% w/v in Freud's Complete Adjuvant (1:1 mixture with distilled water)
Day(s)/duration:
7 days after intradermal induction the same sites of the animals were further induced by epicutaneous exposure with a 50% v/v concentration in arachis oil fixed for two days.
Adequacy of induction:
highest concentration used causing mild-to-moderate skin irritation and well-tolerated systemically
Challenge
No.:
#1
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
arachis oil
Concentration / amount:
50% and 25%
Day(s)/duration:
1 day
Adequacy of challenge:
highest non-irritant concentration
No. of animals per dose:
Number of animals in test group: 10
Number of animals in negative control group: 5
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
For intradermal induction four concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1 and 5%) in arachis oil were used indicating that 0.1% caused mild to moderate skin irritation.
For topical induction 10, 25, 50, and 75% in arachis oil diluted substance was used indicating that 50% diluted substance caused mild irritation.
