Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
other: Landsteiner and Jacobs guinea pig technique
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Undiluted ingredient was applied topically.
The backs and flanks of male guinea pigs were clipped, and treatments were made three times a week for a total of 10 treatments.
The first treatment consisted of 0.05 ml, and the remaining nine were 0.1 ml each.
A challenge treatment of 0.05 ml was made two weeks after the tenth sensitization treatment.
there was reported minimal skin irritation but no sensitization
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
very old study (1978)
