RANGE FINDING TESTS
INDUCTION EXPOSURE (INTRADERMAL)
Four guinea pigs were intradermally injected with 0.1 mL of 1, 5, 10 and 25% (w/v) of the test material in arachis oil BP. The grade of erythema at the injection site was assessed approximately 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 days after injection according to the Draize scale. The highest concentration that caused only mild to moderate skin irritation, and was well tolerated systemically, was selected for the intradermal induction phase of the main study.
INDUCTION EXPOSURE (TOPICAL)
Two guinea pigs, previously injected with Freud’s Complete Adjuvant (eighteen days earlier), were treated with the undiluted test item and 75, 50 and 25% (v/v) of the test item in arachis oil BP for 48 h (clipped flanks; occlusive dressing). The degree of erythema and edema was assessed approximately 1, 2 and 48 h after dressing removal. The highest concentration producing only mild to moderate dermal irritation was selected for the topical induction stage of the main study.
CHALLENGE
Two guinea pigs were treated with undiluted test material and 75, 50 and 25% (v/v) in arachis oil BP applied to the clipped flanks under occlusive conditions for an exposure period of 24 h. The highest non-irritant concentration of the test material and one lower concentration were selected for the topical challenge phase of the main study. The treated skin was evaluated for erythema and edema scores were observed approximately 1, 24, and 48 h after dressing removal.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
At least two tests per year are performed in the laboratory. 100% of the animals in the test group (10 males) showed incidence of sensitisation.
