The experiment was considered valid if:
- the OD of the viable negative control was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8.
- skin models treated with the positive control showed mean tissue viability ≤ 20% compared to the negative control.
The test group was considered valid if the standard deviation (SD) calculated from individual tissue viability percentages of the three replicates was ≤ 18%.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The mean viability of the EpiDerm™ reconstructed skin membranes was 88 ± 1 % compared to the negative control group.
Based on the results obtained in the present study, deoxyribonuclease, batch PPW42035 was considered as non-irritant (UN GHS No Category). - Executive summary:
This study was performed to determine the in vitro skin irritation potential of deoxyribonuclease, batch PPW42035 using EpiDerm™ reconstructed skin membranes. The skin membranes were topically exposed to the test substances for 60 min. Viability of the epidermal cells was assessed using the MTT test at ca. 42 h post-exposure. Negative and positive controls were run in parallel. The general principle for the detection of viability via the MTT test is the conversion of the yellow tetrazolium salt (MTT) to the blue/purple coloured product formazan by mitochondrial enzymes. The formation of formazan was measured using a spectrophotometer. The acceptance criteria of the negative and positive control were met and therefore, the study was considered valid.
The mean viability of the skin membranes was 88 ± 1 % compared to the negative control group.
Based on the results obtained in the present study, deoxyribonuclease, batch PPW42035 was considered as non-irritant (UN GHS No Category).
