Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- THPS (75%) was assessed for skin sensitization using the Magnusson & Kligman Maximisation test (OECD 406). Fourteen out of 20 animals
challenged with the test substance were sensitized (Guest, 1994b). These data clearly demonstrate a sensitization potential for THPS (75%).
