Details on study design:
- Positive control:
For induction, 10 guinea pigs were routinely subjected to the same dosing regimen with the diglycidyl ether of 2,2-di-(p,p'-hydroxyphenyl)propane (DER* 331 Epoxy Resin -- Dow Chemical U .S .A .), a known sensitizer to serve as a positive control . Challenge was performed two weeks after the last injection of the induction series.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2,2-Di-(p,p'-hydroxyphenyl)propane didlycidyl ether (DER* 331 Epoxy Resin -- Dow Chemical U .S .A .)

Any other information on results incl. tables

Preliminary study:

Prior to conducting the sensitization test, the test material was applied as received to the clipped flanks of animals to determine if primary irritation would occur. If significant irritation was observed, dilutions of the test material were made in a suitable solvent. The highest concentration which did not cause primary irritation was used for the sensitization test.
