Use of the Albino Guinea-pig to Detect the Skin-sensitizing Ability of Chemicals

Stevens, M. A.

RESUMO

The guinea-pig has been used for over 20 years to demonstrate skin-sensitizing ability in chemical compounds. Correlation between the results of workers in this field is difficult because of the wide range of conditions under which tests for sensitizing potential have been performed. This has made difficult any attempt to compare the relative abilities of various chemical compounds to produce skin sensitization.
