Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Sentitizers induce primary proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymph node draining the applciation site. The Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) assesses this proliferation. The lymphocyte subpopulations of the draining lymph nodes are studies by flow cytometry.
Evaluation is based on the ratio of T cells to B cells (CD3:CD19). This ratio is an indicator of the B cell proliferation induced by the treatment of mice with contact allergens. If the ratio of T cells to B cells is below 4, the test article is considered as a sensitizer.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
mouse local lymph node assay (LLNA)
