Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
no data on reliability check with positive control; more than 2-3 animals were used for primary irritation screen
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The described guinea pig maximisation test according to OECD 406 was conducted in 1993 before the guidance for the LLNA (OECD429, first adopted in 2002) was available, and before the method was fully established and validated. And since the result of the guinea pig maximisation test is considered to be scientifically valid, the test was not repeated also taking into account exposure and animal welfare considerations.

RANGE FINDING TEST
A primary irritation screen was conducted to determine the concentrations for intradermal and epicutaneous induction as well as for challenge exposure.

Intradermal injection (4 animals): 0.1, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0% test substance in water or 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Four pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 mL each) were made on each side of the vertebral column of each of four guinea pigs assigned. Approximately 48 h after the intradermal injections, sites were evaluated. The highest concentration that did not produce ulceration or necrosis (0.1% test material in vehicle and 1.0% test material in 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water) was utilized for the intradermal induction phase of the sensitisation study.

Topical application (4 animals): 9.5, 19, 38 and 75% in vehicle
Each of 4 guinea pigs received 0.5 mL of each of the four selected concentrations of the test substance by applying each test concentration to patches and securing them with an elastic wrap. Approximately 24 h after initiation of exposure, the wraps and patches were removed and residual test material wiped away. 24 hours after patch removal, the application sites were evaluated for signs of irritation using Draize scoring system.
The concentration that produced minimal irritation was used for the topical induction phase and the concentration that produced no irritation for the challenge exposure of the study.
No signs of irritation were evident for any of the test concentrations. Therefore, 75% was used for both the topical induction and for the challenge exposure.
