PRIMARY SKIN IRRITATION AND SENSITIZATION TESTS ON GUINEA PIGS
Procedure; The test for primary irritation was conducted by applying, and lightly rubbing in, of a 257, and 10% solution, (wt/vol) of the test material in distilled water on the shaved intac of 10 male albino guinea pigs. To test for the sensitization potential, a series of four sacr injections was given, one each week over a three-week period, which consisted of 0.1 ml of a 1 of test material in distilled water. Following a two-week rest period, the test animals were sensitization by applying, and lightly rubbing in, 1 drop (ruO.05 ml) of a 25% and 10% solution material in distilled water on the shaved intact shoulder skin. A group of '10 previously unex received similar applications at the time of challenge to provide a direct comparison of the c
on skin of similar age.
