Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method B.6 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
92/69/EWG, B.6 (Guinea Pig maximization test (GPMT))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Currently no LLNA study is available for assessment. The Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) has been carried out as an animal test to predict human sensitization for over a decade and is recommended by international test guidelines such as OECD.

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Animals for these investigations were pre-treated with an intradermal injection of Freund's complete adjuvant, 50:50 with water for irrigation (Ph. Eur), approximately two weeks prior to the start of the preliminary investigations.

MAIN STUDY

A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Intradermal Injection
- Site/Area: Back (scapular region)/2 x 4 cm
- No. of injections/animal: 6 injections in pairs each.
- Test substance group (cranial; 2 injections side by side): Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) blended (1:1, v/v) with water (Ph.Eur.).
- Test substance group (middle; 2 injections side by side): The test article (1%) in vehicle.
- Test substance group (caudal; 2 injections side by side): 50% Freund's complete adjuvant blended (1:1, v/v) with water + 1 % test article in vehicle.
- Control group (cranial; 2 injections side by side): Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) blended (1:1, v/v) with water (Ph.Eur.).
- Control group (middle; 2 injections side by side): Vehicle.
- Control group (caudal; 2 injections side by side): 50% Freund's complete adjuvant blended (1:1, v/v) with water + vehicle
- Volume per injection: 0.1 ml
- Evaluation (hr after injection): from 24 hour till day 7
- Exposure period: Single exposure

Epicutaneous induction exposure
- Time schedule: 7 days after intradermal injection
- Site: same as intradermal injections (site was pretreated 24 hours before with 0.5 ml per site of 10% w/w sodium lauryl sulphate in petrolatum)
- Frequency of applications: Once.
- Area of application: 2 x 4 cm (on Whatman No. 3)
- Concentrations: undiluted test article (test group) and water (control group)
- Volume applied: 0.4ml/animal
- Type of coverage: occlusive (impemeable plastic adhesive tape (50 ram width "Blenderm") + adhesive bandage (50 mm width "Elastoplast")
- Duration: 48 hours
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): directly after removal of patchB.

CHALLENGE EXPOSURE (all animals)
- Frequency of exposure: once
- Time schedule: 2 weeks after termination of induction exposures
- Site: left flank
- Area of application: 2 x 2 cm (Whatman No. 3 paper)
- Concentrations: undiluted (anterior flank) and 50% (v/v) in vehicle- Volume applied: 0.2 ml/animal
- Type of coverage: occlusive (impemeable plastic adhesive tape (50 ram width "Blenderm") + adhesive bandage (50 mm width "Elastoplast")
- Duration: 24 hours
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after termination of exposure

SCORING SYSTEM:
OECD Draize system
Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema 0
Slight erythema 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) 4

Oedema formation:
No oedema 0
Slight oedema 1
