Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
other: New Zealand albino rabbit

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The exposure period was 4 hours. After the exposure period aU remnants of the test substance were carefully removed from the skin with warm tap water.
Observation period:
Examinations of the skin took place after 30 - 60 minutes as well as 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patches.
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
About 24 hours before the start of the study the hair in the dorsal region of the body of 3 rabbits was removed with an electric clipper over an area of about 25 cm2 . Only animals with intact skin were used.
Each animal was treated with 0.5 ml of the substance. The substance was applied over the whole surface of a 2.5 x 2.5 cm cellulose patch on a piece of surgical
plaster (specially produced by Beiersdorf AktiengeseHschaft). The plaster was fixed to the prepared skin area and then covered with a semi-occlusive bandage.
The exposure period was 4 hours. After the exposure period all remnants of the test substance were carefully removed from the skin with warm tap water.
Examinations of the skin took place after 30 - 60 minutes as well as 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patches.
Erythema, eschar formation and oedema were evaluated numerically according to the score of DRAIZE. All other changes of the skin were recorded.
