Abstract
A new skin sensitization test for experimental animals, the murine local lymph node assay (LLNA), has won the SmithKline Beecham Laboratory Animal Welfare Prize (2000) for its originators Ian Kimber (Syngenta), Frank Gerberick (Procter & Gamble) and David Basketter (Unilever). The LLNA test obviates the need for the injection of test materials and circumvents the elicitation of allergic reactions, which accompany standard guinea-pig testing. The Research Defence Society, a UK-based organization that awards the prize annually, believes that the introduction of LLNA testing will reduce the number of animals being used for skin allergy testing in the future.
