RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A preliminary dose ranging test was carried out on 4 untreated guinea pigs. Two guinea pigs were subjected to intradermal injections and a further 2guinea pigs were exposed to topical application for 48 h of the test material at 4 different concentrations.
Injections and Topical application- 100%, 50%, 25% and 10% v/v in paraffin oil.
Injection sites were assessed for irritation 24, 48 and 72 h after injection and the topical application sites were assessed 24 h after patch removal.
Dose Ranging test for challenge: 4 guinea pigs were pretreated at the induction phase with Freund's Complete Adjuvant only. The test material was applied to the shaved flanks of guinea pigs for 24 h at 100% and 50% v/v in paraffin oil

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study T-4388 does not need to be classified as skin sensitizer according to EU criteria.

Executive summary:

The sensitization potential of a test material, T-4388 (colorless liquid, lot no. 6) was investigated by means of the Magnusson-Kligman Maximisation Test in guinea pigs. The report meets the requirements of OECD and EEC guidelines.

Forty eight young adult, nulliparous and non pregnant female albino guinea pigs of the Dunkin-Hartley strain, within the weight range 370-487 g at main test commencement were used. The sensitivity of this strain of guinea pig to a known sensitizer, 2, 4-dinitro-chlorobenzene (DNCB) is checked at 6 monthly intervals. The most recent positive control test with DNCB had 58% of the test group animals reacting positively.

Twenty test group and twenty control group guinea pigs were housed 5 to a cage. Eight dose ranging guinea pigs were housed 4 to a cage in 2 further cages. The animals were fed on FDI Guinea Pig Diet supplemented with hay and allowed food and tap water ad libitum.

Mean environmental maximum and minimum temperatures were 19ºC and 18 ºC and mean relative humidity was 46%. The guinea pigs were allowed an acclimatization period of at least 7 days prior to test commencement.

Main study animals were weighed at test commencement and completion.

Induction with T-4388 was at concentrations of 10% v/v in paraffin oil (injection) and 100% (topical). Challenge was at a concentration of 100%.

At challenge, none of the test or control group animals treated with T-4388 at a concentration of 100% showed a positive response.
