PRELIMINARY RANGE FINDING TEST

- Number of animals: 2/concentration
- Induction: procedure as described in main study whereby four concentrations were used for induction; no further information
- Challenge: each group was challenged at a different concentration; no further details given
- Evaluation: 24 h after challenge
Results: Concentrations utilized in the main study was the highest with minimal iiritation or non-iiritating to the stomach (for induction) and nonirritating to the ear (for challenge)

MAIN STUDY

IRRITATION CONTROL ANIMALS
INDUCTION EXPOSURE:
- Site of application: Abdomen
- Shaved: yes, before application on Day 0
- FCA (Freund's Complete Adjuvant) pretreatment: Yes, injected intradermally 2x á 0.05 ml after which the abdominal skin was then tape stripped.
- Volume: it is unclear from reporting if control animals were induced with a control substance or not, since test substance was applied undiluted (unchanged)
- Repeation: Yes, tape stripping and topical induction applications were repeated for additional 3 consecutive days

CHALLENGE
- Time schedule: 7 days after induction
- Area of application: left ear, (test substance); right ear (treatment unclear; untreated or if treated what solvent was employed)
- Volume applied: 20 µl
- Concentration: undiluted (100%)
- Evaluation: 24h and 48h after challenge
- Anesthesia: Yes, ether before measurement
