other: Crl:KBL(NZW)BR
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River, Kißlegg, Germany
- Age at study initiation: young adults
- Weight at study initiation: 3.1-3.5 kg
- Housing: individually in cage units Metall/Noryl. Excrement trays below the cages contained low dust wood granulate bedding. The wood granulate was changed at least twice weekly. The animals were regularly transferred to clean cages. The animal room was provided with sound from a radio program.
- Diet: standard diet "Ssniff K-Z" 4mm (Ssniff Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany), approx. 100 g per animal per day. To satisfy the needs of roughage, hay was offered additionally (hay, irradiated, delivered by Harlan Winkelmann, Borchen, Germany; respectively hay pellets delivered by Ssniff Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany).
- Water: tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 50 ± 25
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Irritant / corrosive response data:
1 h post-instillation: moderate conjunctival redness and very slight chemosis were observed in all 3 animals. No corneal opacity or iritis was noted in any animal.
24 h post-instillation: slight conjunctival redness and very slight chemosis were observed in 3/3 and 2/3 animals, respectively. Both effects were fully reversible after further 24 h (48 h reading). No corneal opacity or iritis was noted in any animal.
48-72 h post-instillation: no eye effects were observed in any animal.
Other effects:
No further local effects were reported. There were no systemic intolerance reactions.
