Any other information on results incl. tables
NiSO4 caused positive reactions in the GMPT. All NiSO4 -treated animals showed skin reactions by challenge (mean response = 1.4 at 1% and mean response = 1.6 at 2%). However, as one of the control animals showed a weak reaction at these concentrations, diluted concentrations (0.5 and 0.25%) were rechallenged. With 0.5% NiSO4 (equivalent to 8.04% C6H6O7Ni (nickel citrate)) challenge, 1 of 5 animals (20%) showed positive reactions and mean response was 0.2.
