Challenge
- Route:
- epicutaneous, occlusive
- Vehicle:
- other: intradermal injections: Oleum arachidis and saline; epidermal applications: vaseline
- Concentration / amount:
- Epidermal: 0.2 g of a 20% mixture of the test substance in vaseline
- No. of animals per dose:
- 10 animals/sex/dose
- Details on study design:
- PRE-TEST:
- The concentration for the intradermal injections was selected on account of the solubility of the test article in standard vehicles and its local and systemic tolerability. The following concentration of test article have been prepared for intradermal injection: 1 and 5% in oleum arachidis. Since 5% was well tolerated, this concentration was used for intradermal induction.
- The concentrations for epidermal applications were selected on account of the primary irritation potential of the test article. The following concentrations have been examined on separate animals for the determination for the maximum subirritant concentration: 1, 5, 10 and 30% in vaseline. The tested concentrations did not induce erythema reactions. 30% were chosen for epidermal induction and 20% for epidermal challenge application.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous), one week between intradermal und epidermal exposure
- Exposure period: 48 h for epicutaneous
- Test groups: 1). FCA/saline 1:1 mixture, 2). test substance in Oleum arachidis, 3). test substance in FCA/saline mixture
- Control group: same as the test group with the exception that the test substance was ommited
- Site: neck
- Frequency of applications: single
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: single
- Day(s) of challenge: 29 (2 weeks after epidermal induction)
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: Test substance in vaseline and vaseline alone
- Control group: Vaseline and test substance on separate flanks
- Site: flank
- Evaluation (hr after end of challenge exposures): 24 and 48
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- The sensitivity of the strain is checked every 6 months with at least one of the following known sensitiser: 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene, paraphenylene diamine or potassium dichromate.
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- Positive control test performed using 1-chlor-2,4-dinitrobenzol between June 17, 1991 and July 18, 1991. In the test group, test article treated animals showed 10/10 animals with positive responses at 24 and 48 hours after challenge. Vehicle control animals showed 0/10 animals with positive responses at 24 and 48 hours after challenge. In the negative control group, there were 0/10 animals with positive responses at 24 and 48 hours after challenge in both the vehicle control and test article treated animals.
