- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Three male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits (obtained from H.A.R.E. Rabbits far Research, Hewitt, New Jersey) were used for this study. The rabbits weighed from 2302 to 2529 grams at the beginning of the study. They were individually housed in hanging wire-mesh cages in temperature and humidity controlled quarters. They were maintained in accordance with the recommendations contained in H.E.W. Publication No. 74-23 (N.I.H.) entitled "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals" and were conditioned for a minimum of 25 days prior to study initiation. Water and Purina Rabbit Chow were available ad libitum.
- Type of coverage:
- occlusive
- Preparation of test site:
- abraded
- Vehicle:
- not specified
- Controls:
- not specified
- Amount / concentration applied:
- Five hundred milligrams of the test material were applied to the back of each rabbit under a one inch square gauze patch.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 24 hours
- Observation period:
- 72 hours
- Number of animals:
- 3 male
3 female - Details on study design:
- The hair was removed from the back of each rabbit (20-30% of the body surface) with an electric clipper. The skin of 3 of the rabbits was abraded with a scalpel blade. The abrasions penetrated the stratum corneum, but were not deep enough to cause bleeding.
Five hundred milligrams of the test material were applied to the back of each rabbit under a one inch square gauze patch. The application sites were then covered with gauze bandaging and overwrapped with Saran Wrap. The entire application area was then wrapped with several layers of 75 mm Elastoplast tape. A collar was also applied. Following 24 hours of application, the bandages and collars were removed and the sites were washed with tepid tap water and examined for skin irritation. The examinations were repeated at 72 hours. - Irritation parameter:

- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Three male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits (obtained from H.A.R.E. Rabbits for Research, Hewitt, New Jersey) were used for this study. The rabbits weighed from 2300 to 2813 grams at the beginning of the study. The rabbits were individually housed in hanging wire-mesh cages in temperature and humidity controlled quarters. They were maintained in accordance with the recommendations contained in H.E.W. Publication No. 74-23 (N.I.H.) entitled "Guide for the Care and "Ose of Laboratory Animals". The animals were conditioned for a period of 20 days prior to study initiation. Water and Purina Rabbit Chow were available ad libitum.
- Vehicle:
- not specified
- Controls:
- other: left eye untreated
- Amount / concentration applied:
- The rabbits received 100 milligrams of the test material
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Not specified
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 7 days
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 males
3 females - Details on study design:
- Prior to test material administration, the eyes of each rabbit were examined with ultraviolet light following instillation of one drop of a 2.0 percent sodium fluorescein solution. Rabbits exhibiting corneal lesions were discarded.
The rabbits received 100 milligrams of the test material. The test material was placed into the cupped conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit following which the eyelids were gently held together for one second. The left eye served as the untreated control for each rabbit. None of the rabbits received a washout. - Irritation parameter:
