Abstract: | The allergenicity of various compounds was tested by means of the optimization procedure in the guinea-pig. Results with antibiotics, preservatives, fragrance raw materials and miscellaneous contactants are reported. Their relevance is critically discussed in relation to other animal sensitization methods (Draize, Bühler, open epicutaneous and maximization tests). Predictive animal tests are compared with those used in human allergy (Shelanski & Shelanski; maximization test). The importance of animal methods entailing the use of adjuvants is underlined. |
