Remarks:

Results expressed as mean per group Group -- DPM per lymph node -- SI Vehicle -- 1272.5 -- 1.00 0.03% -- 1735.6* -- 1.36 0.3% -- 2916.8* -- 2.29 1.0% -- 3550.2* -- 2.79 3.0% -- 4048.4* -- 3.18 10.0% -- 4275.5* -- 3.36 *Mean DPM value for the group was according to the ANOVA (Dunnett-test) significantly higher than corresponding control value. The p value for the analysis was < 0.001.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Viability / Mortality: No deaths occurred during the study period.

Clinical Signs: No symptoms of local skin irritation at the ears of the animals and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study period.

Body Weights: The body weight of the animals, recorded prior to the first application and prior to treatment with 3HTdR, was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test item was found to be a skin sensitiser in the LLNA when tested at 0.03, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 and 10.0% in DMSO (w/v).
An EC3 value is calculated to be 2.1% (w/v).
