RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The concentrations for the epidermal applications were selected on account of the primary irritation potential of the test article. The following concentrations of FAT 92376/A have been examined on separate animals for the determination of the maximum subirritant concentration: 80% in vaseline was the highest applicable concentration of the test article. The tested concentrations did not induce erythema reactions, therefore a concentration of 50% (w/w) was chosen.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous, respectively)
- Exposure period: single injection (intradermal) and 48 h (epicutaneous, occlusive)

- Control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Injection 2: Oleum arachidis
Injection 3: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Epicutaneous: 50% in vaseline

- Tests groups:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Injection 2: test substance in Oleum arachidis (w/v)
Injection 3: test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Epicutaneous: 50% in vaseline

- Site: into the neck region

- Frequency of applications: Every 7 days
- Duration: Days 0-9
- Concentrations:
Intradermal:
Test group: 5%
Epicutaneous:
Test group: 50% in vaseline (0.4 g paste per patch)


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1(epicutaneous, occlusive)
- Day of challenge: 4 weeks after first induction
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups:
Epicutaneous: 50% in vaseline

- Control group:
Epicutaneous: 50% in vaseline and vaseline alone

- Site: on the flank
- Concentrations: 0 and 50%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h

OTHER:
The application site was pretreated with 10% sodium-laurylsulfate (open application) 24 hours prior to the epidermal induction application.
Challenge controls:
The control group is actually a challenge control.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
potassium dichromate

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
No positive controls were included in this study. The reference values with potassiumdichromate were reported (experimental date Nov-Dec 1992).
Potassiumdichromate (Intradermal induction: Concentration of compound: 0-2%; Vehicle: physiological saline; Epidermal induction: Concentration of compound: 5%; Vehicle: vaseline; Epidermal challenge: Concentration of compound: 1%; Vehicle: vaseline) induced reactions in 9/10 animals, thus meeting the reliability criteria (>= 15% positive responders).
