Skin sensitisation

Administrative data

Endpoint:

skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

1981

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Study conducted in accordance with recognized guideline. Restriction due to missing details in study report. Missing details did not affect ability to evaluate effect of test substance on skin sensitisation.

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Type of study:

guinea pig maximisation test

Justification for non-LLNA method:

During preparation of the original submission, reporting of an existing guinea pig maximisation test was considered more appropriate than sacrifice of further vertebrate animals in the Local Lymph Node Assay.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: 1 week following injection and 2 days (48hrs) after dermal application
- Test groups: 1 group of 20 male animals.
- Control group: Not included.
- Site: skin over the shoulders.

- Control group: Not included.
- Site: skin over the shoulders.
- Concentrations: undiluted.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 hr and 48 hr

Challenge controls:

not included

Positive control substance(s):

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The test substance does not appear to be a sensitizer in the albino guinea pig.

Executive summary:

In a Magnusson-Kligman Guinea Pig maximization test, 20 Dunkin-Hartley strain albino Guinea Pigs were treated with undiluted test substance, scores of zero in all test animals were obtained at all time points examined. The test material does not appear to be a sensitizer in the albino guinea pig.
