b) = Dado que los ganglios linfáticos de los animales de un grupo de dosis se combinaron, se determinaDPM / nododividiendo el valor medido por el número de nodos linfáticos agrupados.
Nota: La concentración estimada del producto de ensayo requerida para producir un aumento de 3 veces en la actividad de un ganglio linfático de drenaje proliferativa (denominado el valor EC3) se puede calcular de acuerdo con la ecuación.
[EC3 =(ac) [(3-d) / (bd )] + c]
Aquí, (a, b) y (c, d) son respectivamente las coordenadas de los dos pares de datos situadas inmediatamente por encima y por debajo del valor SI de 3 en el nodo local linfático gráfico de la respuesta ensayo dosis.
El valor EC3 no puede ser calculado, ya que todos los SI están por debajo de 3.
No ocurrieron muertes durante el período de estudio; y no hay síntomas de toxicidad local en las orejas de los animales y no hay hallazgos sistémicos durante el período de estudio.
El peso corporal de los animales, registrado antes de la primera aplicación y antes del tratamiento con 3HTdR, estaba dentro del rango comúnmente registrado en animales de esta cepa y edad.
El resultado obtenido se interpreta comono sensibilizante hasta el 10% (w/w) de carbón vegetal.
