Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An OECD Testing guideline 406, GLP-conformant study is available and sufficient for classification. Conduct of an additional LLNA is not considered necessary.

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
intradermal induction
- Details of exposures: single exposure comprising 6 intradermal injections per animal
- No. of animals: 4
- Site: the skin overlying the scapulae
- Concentrations: 30%, 10%, 5%, 3%, 1% and 0.5% w/v E-326 catalyst in distilled water or in FCA
- Evaluation: 24, 48 and 168 hours after injection

percutaneous induction
- Details of exposures: single intradermal injection of 0.1 ml FCA seven days before occlusive topical application of the test substance to 4 test sites per animal
- Exposure period of topical application: 48 h
- No. of animals: 2
- Site: Flanks
- Concentrations: 0.4 ml of 50%, 30%, 10% and 5% E-326 catalyst in distilled water
- Evaluation: 24 h and 48 h after removal of the dressing

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Details of exposures: Single intradermal injection of 0.1 ml FCA twenty-five days before occlusive topical application of the test substance to 4 test sites per animal
- Exposure period: 24 h
- No. of animals: 3
- Site: flanks
- Concentrations: 0.03 ml of 30%, 10%, 5% and 3% w/v E-326 catalyst in distilled water
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 h and 48 h after removal of the dressing

The concentrations chosen for use in induction and challenge were to be well-tolerated locally and systemically. They were selected on the following
criteria: intradermal injections were not to cause necrosis or ulceration of the skin, topical induction was to cause, at most, a weak or moderate inflammatory response and the concentration used at challenge was to be at the highest sub-irritant level.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
intradermal induction
- Details of exposures: single exposure comprising 6 intradermal injections per animal
- No. of animals: 20 per group
- Site: back, in parallel to the spinal cord
- Concentrations: FCA 0.5% w/v; E-326 catalyst in distilled water; 0.5% w/v E-326 catalyst in FCA (in the control groups, the test substance was replaced by distilled water)
- Evaluation: 24, 48 and 144 hours after injection

percutaneous induction
- Details of exposures: 7 days after intradermal induction, occlusive dressing
- Exposure period of topical application: 48 h
- No. of animals: 20 per group
- Concentrations: 0.6 ml 30% w/v E-326 catalyst in distilled water (in the control groups, the test substance was replaced by distilled water)
- Evaluation: 24 h and 48 h after removal of the dressing

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Details of exposures: 14 days after intradermal induction; occlusive dressing to three sites per animal
