ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- animal assignment: random
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: statistically significance / evaluation by using historical control data
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- TI Prepartion: TI is soluted in acetone
- Application volume: 25 µL per ear
- Site of application: dorsal part of both ears
- Frequency of application: 3 consecutive applications (day 0 - day 2) to the same application site
Terminal procedures:
The animais were sacrificed on study day 5 by cervical dislocation.
Ear weight:
lmmediately after the death of each animal a circular piece of tissue (diameter 0.8 cm) was punched out of the apical part of each ear. The weight of the pooled punches was determined for each animal.
Lymnph node weight: Immediately after removal of the ear punches the left and right auricular Iymph nodes were dissected. The weight of the pooled lymph nodes from both sides was determined for each animal.
Preparation of celI suspension and determination of ceII count:
After weight determination, the pooled lymph nodes of each animal were stored in phosphate buffered saline in an ice-water bath until further preparation. A single ceII suspension was prepared as soon as possible after disseotion by carefuhly passing the
Iymph nodes through an iron mesh (mesh size 200,pm) into 6 mL of phosphate buffered saline. For determination of ceIl count the standard suspension was further diluted with Casyton in a ratio 1:500 or 1: 1000. The celI count was determined using a Casy®-Counter. Each suspension was measured in triplicate (3 dilutions of the standard suspension). The mean of the triplicate measurements was used tor further evaluation.
EVALUATION OF RESULTS
In order to reveal a possible induction of sensitization, the response in the draining lymph node after epicutaneous administration of several concentrations of the test substance to the skin of the ear backs is determined. The parameters used to characterize the response are lymph node celI count and to a certain extent weight. Because not only sensitization induction but also Irritation of the ear skin by the test substance may induce lymph node responses, the weight of ear punches taken from the area of test substance application 18 determined as a parameter tor inflammatory ear swelling serving as an indicator tor the irritant action of the test substance. If a test substance does not show a statistically significant increase in ceII count and/or lymph node weight as compared to the vehicle control in the presence of statistically significantly increased ear weights as indication of skin irritation, it is considered not to be a sensitizer. If at least one concentration tested causes a concentration dependent statistically significant inorease in cell count and/or lymph node weight without being accompanied by a statistically significant increase in ear weight, the test substance is considered to be a sensitizer. If statistically signiticant increases in ear weights are running in parallel to the increase in cell count and/or lymph node weight, it cannot be ruled out, that the lymph node response was caused by irritation and not by skin sensitization. Then, tor identitication of the relevance of the statistical evaluation, a comparison of the results of the present test to appropriate historical control is pertormed. lt one or a combination of the measured parameters change statistical signiticance, evaluation on basis of the
criteria described above may be possible. lt the statistical comparison with the historical control does not yield results usetul for evaluation, further investigations may be necessary to ditterentiate between irritation and sensitization response. lt a test substance does not elicit a statistical signiticant increase in lymph node weight and/or cell count but shows a clear concentration related inorease in response, turther investigating ot the sensitization potential at higher concentrations should be considered. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- Lymph node weight, celI count and ear weight: WILCOXON - Test
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- A concurrent positive control (reliability check) with a known sensitizer was not included. Studies using the positive control substance Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, techn. 85% are performed twice a year in the Iaboratory in order to show that the test system is able to detect sensitizing compounds under the test conditions chosen.
Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, techn. 85% induced a statistically significant and biologically relevant response in the auricular lymph nodes, when applied as 3% or 10% preparations in acetone.

Treatment of the mice with 1% 3% and 10% test substance preparations induced statistically significant increase in Iymph node ceIl counts and Iymph node weights as compared to the vehicle control group. Both parameters display concentration related changes in concentrations of 1% - 10%.
Treatment of the mice with a 0.3% test substance preparation caused a slight significant increase in lymph node weights as compared to the vehicle control group, while no effect on cell counts could be noticed.
Treatment of the mice with 1 % up to 10% test substance preparations induced statistically significant increase in ear weight as compared to the vehicle control group (1st step, only). On the day of Iymph node removal incrustation in five animais and scaling in one animal were noticed on the ears that were treated with a 10% test substance preparation.

The mean indices (fold of change as compared to the vehicle control) for lymph node weight, cell count and ear weight are summarized for each test group in the table below.
An increase in ear weight by more than 25% is considered excessive.
