Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Albino rabbits of approximatley 2 kg were used.
No other information on husbandry or environmental conditions is available.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
100mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
1 hr
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days or as long as injury persists
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
a minimum of three animals
Details on study design:
The day before the application of test material the eyes are stained with one
drop of a 5% aqueous solution of sodium fluorescein. The stain
is washed out of the eye after 10 seconds and the cornea is then
examined for existing lesions. Any rabbit showing an abnormality
is discarded.
The test material {l00mg or 0.lml) is instilled into the
lower lid of one eye, and then both lids are held together for a
few seconds. The rabbit is restrained in stocks for the next hour.
The eyes are examined and the degree of irritation assessed
1, 24 and 72 hours, and 7 days after application, or as long as
injury persists, by comparison of the test eye with the control
untreated eye. Fluorescein is applied after land 24 hours, but
at subsequent examinations only when an opacity was present on
the previous occasion. The grading of the irritation is based on
modifications of the method of Draize et al (!) and takes account
of the degree of oedema and redness of the bulbar and palpebral
conjunctivae, the quantity of any discharge, the reaction of the
iris to a light source, and the density and area of any opacity of
the cornea. Each test compound is administered to a minimum of
three rabbits.
