Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Information regarding positive control group not included in the report.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Buehler test method. Furthermore, the LLNA test method is not considered to be suitable for substances that contain silicon. Please refer to the attached document for further details.

PRELIMINARY STUDY:
At the preliminary study 5 % and 1 % solution of the test material in sterile Codex liquid paraffin were tested. When 0.5 ml of 5 % solution was applied to the guinea-pig skin, noticeable erythema was observed in the 4 treated animals. At 1 % concentration, slight erythema was noted in 1 out of 4 animals, which had no pathological aspect. No other clinical changes were observed.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
The left lateral abdominal reagion was clipped and shaved. The test material was applied at days 1, 8 and 15 - 3 hours exposures. 0.5 ml per animal of sterile Codex liquid paraffin was applied to the control group of guinea-pigs and 0.5 ml per animal of the test material in 1.0 % (W/W) sterile Codex liquid paraffin was applied to the test group. The animals were not subject to treatment from days 15 to 29 (14-day period). The observations were at 24 and 48 hours post-application.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
The site of exposure was the right posterior abdominal region. The application was at day 29 for 6 hours. 0.5 ml per animal of the test article in 1.0 % sterile Codex liquid paraffin (posterior flank) and 0.5 ml per animal of vehicle (anterior flank). The test article was applied to clipped and shaved skin under occlusive patch. The observations were at 24 and 48 hours post-application.
Challenge controls:
0.5 ml per animal of sterile Codex liquid paraffin
Positive control substance(s):
no
