Details on study design:
Thirty male guinea pigs (250-300 g) were divided into 3 groups of 10 each. The animals' backs and flanks were shaved free of hair. One group was intradermally injected with 0.05 ml of a 5% solution of test material in saline. The second group (positive control) was similarly injected with 0.05 ml of a 0.3% dinitro-chlorobenzene (DNCB) solution that was solubilized in a minimum volume of alcohol and made to volume with saline. The third group (negative control) was injected with 0.05 ml of saline. After 24 hours, the injected sites were scored for erythema and edema according to the method of Draize (Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, p.48, 1957). At 48 hours the animals were again injected with 0.1 ml of their respective solutions. The injections were repeated 2-3 times a week until 10 injections were made. Since necrosis was noted after two injections with 5% test material, the last 7 injections were made with 1% solution.

The animals were allowed to rest for 2 weeks after the last injection. On the first day of the third week (or the 42nd day after the first injection), the animals in each group were challenged intradermally with 0.1 ml of solution at a new site. Animals from the first, second and third groups were challenged with 1% test material, DNCB solution (0.03% and 0.3%), and test material and both DNCB solutions (at different sites), respectively. After 24 hours, the injected sites were depilated with "Nair". The injected sites were scored for erythema and edema 3 hours after hair removal. The sites were rescored at 48 hours.

The test material was considered a sensitizer if the number of animals exhibiting skin reactions was higher in Group 1 than in the negative control group. The positive control group was an internal control for the test.

Any other information on results incl. tables

During the induction phase, the first 3 injections of a 5% solution of test material caused necrosis.  Therefore, the last seven injections were made with 1%.  Whether or not any reactions were observed at this concentration was not listed.   Positive control animals exhibited necrosis during the entire induction period.

None of the animals that were induced with test material reacted after challenge with the test material.  In the positive control group, 8/10 animals challenged with 0.03% DNCB and all animals challenged with 0.3% DNCB had skin reactions at 27 hours. At 48 hours, all positive control animals injected with 0.3% DNCB and none of the positive controls injected with 0.03% DNCB had positive reactions.   All negative controls challenged with 0.3% DNCB had skin reactions at 27 and 48 hours, and none of the negative controls challenged with 0.03% DNCB had skin reactions at 27 and 48 hours.
