SUMMARY
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of H-24256 to produce a dermal sensitization response in mice using the local lymph node assay (LLNA). Six groups of female CBA/JHsd mice were dosed for 3 days with 0 (vehicle), 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, or 100% H-24256 on both ears. Dimethylsulfoxide was used as the diluting vehicle. A seventh group of 6 female mice were dosed for 3 days with 25% Hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA) as a positive control. On day 5 o f the assay, mice received 125-Iododeoxyundine and were sacrificed 5 hours later. The cell proliferation in the draining auricular lymph nodes of the ears was then evaluated and compared to control.
There were no clinical signs of toxicity observed in the study. There were no statistically significant differences in mean body weights and mean body weight gains between the vehicle control group and any test substance group.
No statistically significant differences were seen in cell proliferation measurements at any test concentration. Stimulation indexes were less than 3.0 at all concentrations.
A 25% concentration o f the positive control, HCA, produced a positive dermal sensitization response in mice. Therefore, the LLNA test system was valid for this study with H-24256. Under the conditions o f this study, H-24256 was not a dermal sensitizer.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose o f this study was to examine the dermal sensitization potential o f H-24256 using the mouse local lymph node assay (LLNA). Following the topical application of the test article to the dorsal side of both ears, the dermal sensitization potential o f the test article was evaluated by measuring the proliferation o f lymphocytes (via radiolabel uptake) obtained fronUhe auricular lymph nodes (i.e., the lymph nodes that drain the ears). Because H-24256 is a f l^ B a n d did not appear to have severe skin irritating capability (pH ~8), the 100% concentration was used as the high dose. For subsequent dilutions, the test article was found to be soluble in dimethlysulfoxide (DMSO).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Test Species The Local Lymph Node Assay screen with H-24256 was conducted in female CBA/JHsd mice.
On 19-Oct-1999,47 female CBA/JHsd mice with an assigned birth date o f 27-Aug-1999, were received from Harlan Sprague Dawley, Frederick, Maryland.
The CBA/JHsd mouse was selected to conduct the LLNA because Haskell Laboratory has an extensive historical database with this strain. Furthermore, this strain has undergone extensive interlaboratory validation with the LLNA.(1,2'3)
B. Test Substance
The test substance, H-24256, was supplied by the sponsor a s ;
_______
The test substance was mixed before each dose was removed. The test substance appeared to be"
stable under the conditions of the study. No evidence of instability, such as a change in color or
physical state, was observed.
C. Body W eight Measurements All mice were weighed on test day 0 and prior to sacrifice on test day 5.
D. Clinical Observations
Cage-site examinations to detect moribund or dead mice and abnormal behavior and appearance among mice were conducted at least once daily throughout the study. At every weighing, each mouse was individually handled and examined for abnormal behavior and appearance.

E. Local Lymph Node Assay
The test substance was prepared as a solution in DMSO except the 100% concentration. Twenty-five fil of H-24256 was administered topically to the dorsum of each ear of mice (6 per group) for 3 consecutive days (test days 0-2) at dosages o f 0% (DMSO vehicle), 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100%. One group o f 6 female mice was dosed with 25% hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA) as a positive control. Test days 3-4 were days of rest, followed by intravenous injection o f 2 /iCi of 125-Iododeoxyuridine (125IudR) per mouse on the morning o f test day 5. Approximately 5 hours later, animals were sacrificed, draining auricular lymph nodes were removed, and single cell suspensions were prepared. The single cell suspensions were then incubated at ~4C overnight. Counts per minute (cpm) data were obtained on test day 6 by counting the single cell suspensions on a gamma counter, and the cpm data were converted to disintegrations per minute (dpm) data.
F. Statistical Analyses
Significance will be judged at p < 0.05 except for Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test which will be judged at p < 0.01.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. Clinical Signs of Toxicity, Body W eights, and Body W eight Gains (Tables 1-2)
There were no clinical signs o f toxicity observed in the study. There were no statistically significant differences in mean body weights and mean body weight gains between the vehicle control group and any test substance group.
B. Stimulation Index Data (Table 3)
No statistically significant differences were observed in cell proliferation measurements at any test concentration. Stimulation indexes were less than 3.0 at all concentrations of H-24256. Under the conditions o f this study, H-24256 was not a dermal sensitizer.
CONCLUSIONS
A 25% concentration o f HCA produced a positive dermal sensitization response in mice. Therefore, the LLNA test system was valid for this study with H-24256. Under the conditions of this study, H-24256 was not a dermal sensitizer.
