Sensitization potential by Alternatives

The need for an integrated testing approach
Current regulatory status: the current knowledge of the chemical and biological mechanisms associated with skin sensitization has prompted the development of alternative (in silico, in chemico, in vitro) methods addressing specific key events (KEs) of the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) process (ENV/JM/MONO(2012)10/ PART1 and PART2): the regulatory needs is to cover KE1, KE2 and KE3.

VitroScreen & SenzaGen

experts working together to better address skin sensitization classification
VitroScreen and SenzaGen, experts in in vitro toxicology, have joined forces and work together to better address skin sensitization classification. Our combined approach provides a comprehensive understanding of a substance’s skin sensitization potential, aligning with the OECD’s Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOP) framework for regulatory compliance. This approach combines:
  • Keratinosens™ test (OECD TG 442D), representing keratinocyte response (AOP 2)
  • GARD® skin test (OECD TG 442E), representing immunocompetent cell response (AOP 3)
SenzaGen’s GARD® skin (OECD TG442E) is distinguished by its high performance and broad applicability, demonstrating:
  • Over 90% prediction accuracy for identifying potential skin sensitizers.
  • Robust and reliable results across various chemicals and mixtures.
