- 1. Groups of mice (n=4) were exposed topically on the dorsum of both ears to 25 l of various concentrations of the test chemicals, or to the same volume of the relevant vehicle alone, daily for 3 consecutive days. Five days following initiation of exposure all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250 l of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 20 Ci of [3H] methyl thymidine. Five hours later the mice were sacrificed and the draining auricular lymph nodes excised and pooled for each experimental group. Single cell suspensions of LNC were prepared by mechanical disaggregation through 200-mesh stainless steel gauze. Pooled LNC were washed twice with PBS and precipitated in 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at 4°C overnight. Pellets were then resuspended in 1 ml of TCA and transferred to 10 ml of scintillation fluid (Optiphase ‘Hisafe 3’, Wallac, Turku, Finland). The incorporation of 3H-TdR was measured by -scintillation counting as disintegrations per minute (dpm) per node for each experimental group. In each case a stimulation index (SI) relative to the concurrent vehicle-treated control was derived; an SI of 3 or greater being indicative of a chemical possessing the potential to cause contact sensitization.
2.Treatment was performed daily for 3 consecutive days. Five days after initiation of exposure all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250µl of PBS containing 20µCi of tritiatied thymidine. The mice were sacrificed 5 hours later, and draining the auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each experimental group or each individual animal. The incorporation of tritiated thymidine measured by β-scintillation counting and was reported in disintegrations /minute. An SI was calculated for each chemical group as the ratio of disintegrations/minute of the treated group to the disintegrations/minute of the concurrent vehicle control group. A substance was classified skin sensitizer , if at one or more than one concentrations, it induced a three-fold or greater increase in local lymph node proliferative activity when treated with the concurrent vehicle treated controls (SI ≥3) - Statistics:
- 2.The approach to estimation of the relative skin sensitization potential is based on the mathematical estimation of the concentration of chemical necessary to obtain a threshold positive response (SI = 3); this is termed as the EC3 value

- Executive summary:
Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:
The skin sensitizing potential of the test chemical was assessed by using the Mouse Local Lymphnode Assay. In this study, groups of mice (n=4) were exposed topically on the dorsum of both ears to 25 l of various concentrations of the test chemicals, or to the same volume of the relevant vehicle alone, daily for 3 consecutive days. Five days following initiation of exposure all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250 l of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 20 Ci of [3H] methyl thymidine. Five hours later the mice were sacrificed and the draining auricular lymph nodes excised and pooled for each experimental group. Single cell suspensions of LNC were prepared by mechanical disaggregation through 200-mesh stainless steel gauze. Pooled LNC were washed twice with PBS and precipitated in 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at 4°C overnight. Pellets were then resuspended in 1 ml of TCA and transferred to 10 ml of scintillation fluid (Optiphase ‘Hisafe 3’, Wallac, Turku, Finland). The incorporation of 3H-TdR was measured by -scintillation counting as disintegrations per minute (dpm) per node for each experimental group. In each case a stimulation index (SI) relative to the concurrent vehicle-treated control was derived; an SI of 3 or greater being indicative of a chemical possessing the potential to cause contact sensitization. The stimulation indices (SI) at concentration 0, 25, 50 and 75% was observed to be 1, 1.31, 1.50 and 1.46 respectively. The test chemical failed at all test concentrations (maximum concentrations of 75%) to induce a positive response in the local lymph node assay with relatively low levels of thymidine incorporation being recorded at all concentrations tested. Therefore the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing in LLNA study.
Another Mouse Local Lymphnode Assay was conducted to assess the skin sensitization potential of similar read across chemical. The LLNA was conducted on groups of five female CBA mice (7-12 weeks of age) by mean of topical application of chemical on the dorsum of both ears at a dose of 25µl of 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10% or 20% in acetone/olive oil (4:1). Treatment was performed daily for 3 consecutive days. Five days after initiation of exposure all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250µl of PBS containing 20µCi of tritiatied thymidine. The mice were sacrificed 5 hours later, and draining the auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each experimental group or each individual animal. The incorporation of tritiated thymidine measured by β-scintillation counting and was reported in disintegrations /minute. An SI was calculated for each chemical group as the ratio of disintegrations/minute of the treated group to the disintegrations/minute of the concurrent vehicle control group. A substance was classified skin sensitizer, if at one or more than one concentrations, it induced a three-fold or greater increase in local lymph node proliferative activity when treated with the concurrent vehicle treated controls (SI ≥3).The approach to estimation of the relative skin sensitization potential is based on the mathematical estimation of the concentration of chemical necessary to obtain a threshold positive response (SI = 3); this is termed as the EC3 value. For each concentration of test chemical, a stimulation index (SI) relative to the concurrent vehicle-treated control was calculated. The calculated EC3 value was >20.0%. Thus based on the relative potency index the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing in the Mouse Local Lymph node Assay.
The above results were further supported by the skin sensitization study performed for another similar read across chemical in 25 volunteers via maximization test. About 10% in petrolatum of test sample was administrated on different panels of human subject. No known cutaneous reaction was observed in 25 volunteers. Therefore, the test chemical can be considered as not sensitizing on human skin.
Based on the above summarized studies for target chemical and its structurally and functionally similar read across substances,it can be concluded that the testchemical is unable to cause skin sensitization and considered as non-skin sensitizer. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
