Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
The New Zealand White rabbit , weighing 2.0 - 3 .0 kg and approximately 9-10 weeks of age, was used for this study.

The animals were housed and maintained in compliance with the Animal Welfare Act (Pub. L-94-279) 9 CFR Part 3.
The rabbits were not used in any previous study and were accl imated to the laboratory for at least 5 days prior to dosing.

The animals were randomized using a computer generated list of random numbers. They were individually identified by ear tag.
Each cage was identified with a cage card displaying the animal number, sex, project number, test article , date dosed , dose level, and responsible technician's initials.

Husbandry Conditions:
Temperature - 70°F ~ 2°F
Relative Humidity - 45% ~ 5%
Light - 12 hour light/dark cycle
Diet - Wayne 15% Rabbit
Ration and tap water were provided ad libitum. Based on our current knowledge no contaminants were known to be in this diet or water that might be expected to interfere with the objectives of the study.

Caging - Stainless steel with elevated wire mesh flooring

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
500 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period:
examination after removal and 2 days later
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
A group of six rabbits was clipped over a wide area on their backs approximately 24 hours prior to application.
One side of the animals' backs was abraded at two sites with a lancet sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum corneum but not enter the derma to produce bleeding. Two intact skin sites were also selected on the other side of the back.

A 0.5 g portion of the experimental material was applied to two abraded and two intact skin sites on the same rabbit.
Gauze patches were then placed over the treated areas and an impervious material wrapped snugly around the trunks of the animals to hold the patches in place. The wrapping was removed at the end of the twenty-four hour contact period, the sites wiped but not washed, and the treated areas examined.

Readings were also made after seventytwo hours. The Draize method of scoring was employed. All other lesions observed were recorded.
