RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Test substance applied at 100 %, 50 %, 25 %, 10 %, 5 %, 2.5 % or 1 % w/v in distilled water. 4 concentrations/ guinea pig. 0.3 mL/patch. Occluded conditions. Based on the results, a concentration of 25 %w/v was chosen for induction and 5 %w/v for primary challenge.

Any other information on results incl. tables

One animal in the test group was found dead after the third induction. Necrospy showed lungs pale, liver pale, abdominal cavity filled witha red blood-like material and slight post mortem autolysis.

The incidence and severity of the responses in the test group was essentially comparable to that produced by the naive control group, indicating that sensitisation had not been induced.
