experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The protocol used was the basis of the OECD Guideline 429 LLNA. However, it is a probably a non-GLP study with minor deviations to the OECD Guideline

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: a stimulation index ≥ 3, together with consideration of dose-response


TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Groups of mice are exposed daily, for 3 consecutive days, to various concentrations of the test chemical or to the relevant vehicle alone, on the dorsum of both ears. Subsequently on 5 days following the initiation of exposure, mice are injected intravenously with [3H]thymidine and activity measured as a function of isotope incorporation in draining auricular lymph nodes (Kimber and Basketter, 1992).
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
mercaptobenzothiazole (CAS No 149-30-4)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Groups of mice are exposed daily, for 3 consecutive days, to various concentrations of the test chemical or to the relevant vehicle alone, on the dorsum of both ears. On day 5 following the initiation of exposure, mice are injected intravenously with [3H]thymidine and activity measured as a function of isotope incorporation in draining auricular lymph nodes (Kimber and Basketter, 1992). A stimulation index ≥ 3 was observed in concentrations >5%. Hexadecanoylchlorid is regarded as sensitizing in the LLNA
