- skin
- Study type:
- study with volunteers
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline available
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Maximization test as cited in Kligman (1966) and Kligman and Epstein (1975).
Ethylbenzene was applied under occlusion to the same site on the volar forearms of all subjects for 5 alternate day 48 hr periods. The patch site was pre-treated for 24 hrs with 5% aqueous solution of sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. The challenge sites were read on removal of the patch and 24 hrs later. - GLP compliance:

None
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of the study ethylbenzene was not sensitising to human.
- Executive summary:
This maximization test was carried out with ethylbenzene (10% in petrolatum) in 25 human volunteers. There were no sensitisation reactions. No further details are available as this is a reference to unpublished data.
