- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
- The eyes were carefully examined for defects and defectives eyes were discarded. The tissue surrounding the eyeball was carefully pulled away and the cornea was excised leaving a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera. The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish containing HBSS. Before the corneas were mounted in corneal holders (Duratec GmbH) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior chamber, they had been visually examined for defects and any defective cornea had been discarded. The anterior chamber was then positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The chambers of the corneal holder were then filled with RPMI (without phenol red) containing 1% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine (complete RPMI). The posterior chamber was always filled first. The corneas were incubated for one hour at 32 +/- 1 °C.
TREATMENT METHOD: closed chamber
Treatment of the Corneas:
After the equilibration period, the medium was removed from both chambers and replaced with fresh complete RPMI. An initial measurement was performed on each of the corneas using the opacitometer. Three corneas with illuminance readings approximately equivalent to the median illuminance of all corneas were selected as negative-control corneas. The illuminance of each cornea was read and recorded. Only corneas that had an initial illuminance reading I>I0/1.1651 lux were used for the assay. The medium was removed from the anterior chamber and replaced with the test item or control.
750 μL of the test item preparation or the control substance was introduced into the anterior chamber(closed-chamber method). After 4 hours ± 5 minutes incubation at 32 ± 1 °C either the test substance or the control substance was removed and the epithelium washed at least three times with MEM (containing phenol red). Once the medium was free of test substance, the cornea was finally rinsed with complete RPMI (without phenol red). The anterior chamber was refilled with complete RPMI and an illuminance measurement was performed.
After the illuminance measurement was performed, the medium was removed from both chambers of the holder. The posterior chamber was refilled with fresh complete RPMI. 1 mL of a 5 mg/mL sodium fluorescein solution was added to the anterior chamber and the corneas were incubated for 90 minutes at 32±1 °C. Then the medium from the posterior chamber was removed and its optical density at 490 nm (OD490) was determined, using a spectrophotometer.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: After 4 hours incubation either the test substance or the control substance was removed and the epithelium washed at least three times with minimum essential medium (MEM) (containing phenol red).
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
IVIS = mean opacity value + (15 x mean permeability OD490 value)
The IVIS cut-off values for identifying test substances as inducing serious eye damage (UN GHS Category 1) and test substances not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage (UN GHS No Category) are given in Table 1 (see "Any other information on materials and methods").
An identification of test substances that should be classified as irritating to eyes (UN GHS Category 2 or Category 2A) or test substances that should be classified as mildly irritating to eyes (UN GHS Category 2B) cannot be made.
For this purpose further testing with another suitable method is required.
Evaluation of Results:
The change in opacity for each cornea was calculated by subtracting the initial opacity reading from the final opacity reading. These values were corrected by subtracting from each the average change in opacity observed for the negative-control corneas. The mean opacity value for each treatment was calculated by averaging the corrected opacity values of each cornea for a given treatment.
The mean OD490 for the blank cuvettes was calculated. The mean blank OD490 was subtracted from the OD490 of each cuvette (corrected OD490). Any dilutions that were made to bring the OD490 values into the linear range of the spectrophotometer (OD490 should be less than 1.500), were taken into account by multiplying the OD490 value of the dilution by the dilution factor. The final-corrected OD490 of the test article and the positive control were calculated by subtracting the average-corrected OD490 of the negative-control corneas from the corrected OD490 value of each treated cornea:
Final-corrected OD490 = (OD490 – mean blank OD490) – average-corrected negative control OD490. The mean OD490 value of each treatment group was calculated by averaging the final corrected OD490 values of the treated corneas for that treatment condition.

- Remarks:
- no prediction can be made
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean.
The negative control responses should result in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background bovine corneas treated with the respective negative control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: no prediction can be made
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, based on the mean in vitro irritation score of 39.42 obtained in the bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay (BCOP, OECD 437) no prediction can be made regarding the classification of the test substance.
- Executive summary:
The eye irritation potential of LYSO was investigated in the bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay (BCOP, OECD 437). The test item was suspended with physiological saline 0.9 % NaCl to gain a 20 % concentration. A mean in vitro irritation score of 39.42 was determined. The positive control induced the appropriate responses, indicating the validity of the assay. According to the UN GHS criteria, this mean in vitro irritation score does not allow to make any prediction regarding classification of the test substance. For the purpose of classification, further testing with another suitable method is required.
