Executive summary:

This study has been carried out with the aim of evaluating the possible sensitizer effects of the product sodium trichloroacetate on the skin of white guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus). The method of the assay has been developed according to the OECD Protocol No. 406, 1992. After initial exposure to the product being tested, animals are exposed in order to prove whether a state of hypersensitivity to the product has been induced. A group of twenty adult guinea pigs (ten female and ten males) is initially exposed (induction exposure), to three inductive applications, one every 7 days. After a three weeks period (Induction period), during which the immune response has developed, animals are exposed to a single application aimed at proving the sensitization to the product (challenge exposure). The range and degree of skin reaction after the challenge exposure are assessed by comparing this group of animals with the witness group, not treated, after their exposure to the challenge. During the assay period, environmental conditions were kept constant (Temperature: 20°C, Humidity: 60 % and Photoperiod: twelve hours light and twelve hours darkness). The results of this study show that sodium trichloroacetate does not cause skin sensitization.
