Concentration / amount:
Induction;

for intradermal induction of sensitization, 0.1 mL each of the following formulations were injected to 2 sites in the neck of each animal: A, an emulsion of equal volumes of Freund's complete adjuvant (PCA) and physiological saline; B, a 0.3 w/v% test substance formulation (vehicle: liquid paraffin); C, an emulsion of equal volumes of a 0.6 w/v% test substance formulation (vehicle: FCA) and physiological saline.

For induction of sensitization by direct contact, a 2 x 4-cm piece of lint impregnated with 0.2 mL of a 40 w/v% the test substance formulation (vehicle: liquid paraffin) was applied to the intradermal injection sites on Day 7 and close contact was maintained for 48 hours.


For challenge, on Day 21 after the start of induction of sensitization, the cloth of an adhesive tape for patch tests impregnated with 0.1 mL of 40, 10, 3, 1, 0.3 or' 0.1 w/v% test substance formulation. (vehicle: liquid paraffin) was applied directly to the lateral . abdominal region ofeach animal and close con.tact was maintained for 24 hours.

No. of animals per dose:
A total of 15 animals were used. The test groups consisted ofthe sensitization induction group receiving the test substance (10 animals) and its control group (5 animals).
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: this test substance was shown to be non-irritating when applied directly and close contact was maintained
