Justification for non-LLNA method:
The in vivo study data were obtained in studies performed before any in vitro sensitization tests tests had been validated and accepted for regulatory purposes. Additionally, literature data demonstrates that an LLNA method is unreliable for surfactant substance, and may provide false positive results [1]. Therefore, an LLNA method is not deemed reliable for assessing the skin sensitisation of the substance.

Details on study design:
The test was performed according to a modified version of the Magnusson-Kligman Guinea Pig Maximisation Test. This investigation was performed according to HLD test plan P 3/152, 3-rd revision as well as according to the recommended guidelines of the USA Interagency Regulatory Liaison Group (IRLG, January, 1981).

Range finding tests:
Four animals were treated dermally in a preliminary study under occlusiv conditions (exposure period 24 h) with the following concentrations of the sample: epicutaneous: 5%, 20%, 50%. Reading 3 h p.a.
Two animals were treated intradermal: 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 5% (aqueous solution). Reading 24 h p.a.

Main study
(A) Induction exposure
(A.1) Intradermal injection – Performed on Test Day 1
Based on the pretest results, the test item concentration of 5% was selected for intradermal induction in the main study. An area of dorsal skin from the scapular region (approximately 6 x 8 cm) was clipped free of hair. Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 mL/site) were made just within the boundaries of a 4 x 6 cm area in the clipped region as follows:

- Test groups:
1) 0.1 mL Complete Adjuvant (50 % v/v in water for injection) (Bactoadjuvant Completa H 37 Ra, Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Michigan)
2) 0.1 mL 5 % v/v test substance in Aqua dest.
3) 0.1 mL 5 % v/v test substance in Aqua dest. emulsified in 50 % Adjuvant

- Control group:
1. 0.1 mL Complete Adjuvant (50 % v/v in water for injection)
2. 0.1 mL aqua dest
3. 0.1 mL Complete Adjuvant (50 % v/v in aqua dest.)

(A.2) Epidermal induction - Performed one week after intradermal injection
- Volume: 0.5 mL
- Exposure period: 48 h
- Test groups: 10
- Control group: 5
- Site: the same site as for intradermal injection
- Frequency of applications: 1
- Concentrations: 20%
(B) Challenge exposure
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 2 weeks after induction
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Control group: aqua dest.
- Concentrations: 5 %
- Evaluation (h after challenge): 48 h, 72 h

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine skin sensitisation potential of the test substance, 'C11-unsatd. AAP TMA-MS' (active: 47%) in a guinea pig maximisation test (GPMT), according to a method similar to OECD Guideline 406. The test was performed in 15 (10 test and 5 control) male young adult Pirbright-White guinea pigs. The maximum compatible concentrations which led to slight irritation after intradermal and dermal application as well as the sub-irritative dose for the challenge application were determined in pre-tests. In the main test, one treated group of ten males received the test substance in a 50% mixture of Complete Adjuvant (50 % v/v in water for injection) on Day 1 by intradermal injections in the interscapular region at the concentration of 5% and on Day 8 by topical application to the clipped interscapular region at 20% (aqueous solutions). A control group of five males received water (vehicle) on Day 1 and Day 8 to the interscapular region. The induction phase was followed by a 14 d rest period. For challenge test, the test substance was applied topically on Day 22 to the posterior right flank at 20%. Cutaneous reactions were evaluated 48 and 72 h after challenge test. The sensitisation rate, i.e. the number of animals showing an allergic response expressed as a percentage of the total number of animals, was calculated. No allergic skin reactions were observed in test animals 48 and 72 h after the challenge exposure. No findings were observed in control animals. Therefore, the sensitisation rate was determined to be 0% for test substance. Under the study conditions, the test substance was concluded to be non-sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs (Meisel, 1983).
