Any other information on results incl. tables

Preliminary Test:

For each induction the highest concentration to cause mild-to-moderate skin irritation, but well tolerated systemically, was used.

Based on the results of this preliminary test, a concentration of 5% was chosen for the intradermal application of the main test and a concentration of 100% was selected for the dermal induction.

A concentration of 50% was found to be the highest dose which did not cause any signs of irritation after a topical treatment over a period of 24 hours and therefore was chosen for the challenge application in the main test.

Main Test:

All animals of both groups survived throughout the test period.

Signs of irritation during the induction:

Intradermal Induction I (24-hour reading):

- Injection site 1: erythema grade 1 in 5/5 negative control-, in 5/5 positive control- and 10/10 test animals, oedema grade 1 in 5/5 negative control-, in 5/5 positive control- and 10/10 test animals

- Injection site 2: erythema grade 1 in 1/5 positive control animals, oedema grade 1 in 1/5 positive control animals

- Injection site 3: erythema grade 1 in 1/5 negative control-, in 5/5 positive control- and 5/10 test animals, oedema grade 1 in 1/5 negative control-, in 5/5 positive control- and 5/10 test animals

Intradermal Induction I (48-hour reading):

- Injection site 1: erythema grade 1 in 5/5 negative control-, in 5/5 positive control- and 10/10 test animals, oedema grade 1 in 5/5 negative control-, in 5/5 positive control- and 10/10 test animals

- Injection site 2: no signs of irritation

- Injection site 3: erythema grade 1 in 1/5 negative control-, in 5/5 positive control and 5/10 test animals, oedema grade 1 in 1/5 positive control- and 1/10 test animals

Dermal Induction II (48-hour exposure, occlusive):

- Immediately after removing the patch: no signs of irritation in any of the test or control animals.

- 24 hours after removing the patch: no signs of irritation in any of the test or control animals.
