Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Light period of 10 hours light. incomplete series of induction in test and control groups.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
Maurer optimisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Currently no LLNA study is available for assessment. Guinea Pig optimization tests like the Maurer optimization test has been carried out as an animal test to predict human sensitization for over a decade and is recommended by international test guidelines.
