OTHER:
Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) were made simultaneously into the shaved neck of the guinea pigs as follows:
- adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v)
- test article in 20 % propylene glycol in water (w/v)
- test article in the adjuvant/saline mixture (w/v)
Challenge controls:
vehicle (vaseline)
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Potassium dichromate

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
A sensitization rate of 90% was observed in the experimental animals after the challenge with 1% (w/w) potassium dichromate in vaseline.

Any other information on results incl. tables

On experimental day 17 female guinea pig No. 53 was found dead. Macro pathological investigation did not reveal any changes. Since no clinical signs were observed in all other treated guinea pigs and with respect to the low incidence of this finding, no toxicological relevance is attributed to this death.
