Skin sensitisation
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1978
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions

Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of study:
- guinea pig maximisation test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- This study was conducted prior to the development of the LLNA assay. This test material and this class of chemistry in general has not shown skin sensitisation effects.

- No. of animals per dose:
- No data
- Details on study design:
- Induction was induced by the intradermal injection of a 5% solution of Meflex DC016 in olive oil homogenised with Freund's Complete Adjuvant, followed 7 days later by topical application of 20% solution of Meflex DC016 in olive oil. 2 weeks after topical induction, the animals were challenged with topical applications of 20% Meflex DC016 in olive oil. Erythema and oedema were scored after 24 and 48 hours.
