No. of animals per dose:
5 control
10 test animals
Details on study design:
A 40x60 mm area of the dorsal skin on the scapular region was clipped of hair. Three pairs of intradermal injections were within the clipped area.

One week after the injections, the same are area was clipped and shaved free of hair. A 20x40 mm patch of Whatman No. 3 paper was saturated with 0.4 mL of 50% v/v test material in Alembicol D. The patch was coverd using impermeable plastic adhesive (Blenderm) and secured in place with Elastoplast. The dressing was left in place for 48 hours.
Challenge controls:
The control and test animals were challenged topically 2 weeks after the topical induction application using 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphite at 30% and 15% v/v in Alembicol D.

Hair was removed on the left flank of each animal and two separate 20x20 mm patches, one on the posterior and one on the anterior, were covered with Whatman No. 3 paper which was saturated with 0.2 ml of either 30% v/v or 15% v/v solution as described above. The patches were sealed for 24 hours under strips of Blenderm and covered by Elastoplast around the trunk and secured with Sleek.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The study report found positive responses in 8 of 10 animals in the 30% v/v dose group, indicating that the substance is a skin sensitiser.
Executive summary:

In a well conducted, GLP, guideline study, Lankromark LE98 (2 -ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphite) was found to be a skin sensitiser. There was a clear response in 8 of 10 animals at the 30% v/v challenge solution, though the response was weaker at the 15% v/v challenge solution. Under the current classifiction scheme these results are consistent with the substance being classified as a skin sensitiser but not a severe skin sensitiser.
