Test system:

human skin model

Source species:

human

Cell type:

non-transformed keratinocytes

Cell source:

other: obtained from human derived non-transformed epidermal keratinocytes

Justification for test system used:

This study addresses the human health endpoint skin irritation. It uses reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) (obtained from human derived non-transformed epidermal keratinocytes) which closely mimics the histological, morphological, biochemical and physiological properties of the upper parts of the human skin. The use of reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) is recommended by the OECD and other regulatory authorities. SkinEthicTM RHE model has been validated and is part of the OECD validated reference methods (VRMs) and is a recommended model for conducting in vitro skin irritation studies. The results of the study are believed to be of value in predicting the potential of inducing skin irritation by the test item in humans.

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
-Volume and number of washing steps: After exposure, tissues were rinsed and then dried with cotton buds. The test item was removed by rinsing 25 times in a constant stream of DPBS at 5-8 cm distance from the insert to remove test item from the epidermal surface. Mesh (applied on negative and positive control tissues) was removed by washing. The bottom of tissue inserts were dried on a sterile absorbent paper (Kim wipes) for 1-2 seconds. The surface of the stratum corneum was gently swept up using both ends of a cotton tip (5-6 turns per end). After washing, inserts were transferred to holding plates (at room temperature) containing 300 µL maintenance medium.
