1 Innovative. Quantitative. Recognized. NAMSA introduces a groundbreaking in vitro alternative for the evaluation of sensitization. In Vitro Sensitization Assay (IVSA)
2 NAMSA Unveils Sensitization Testing of the Future Today Sensitization is one of three biologic risks that must be assessed for all medical devices before obtaining regulatory approval or clinical evaluation. Since the development of the Magnusson-Kligman (1970)Guinea Pig Maximization Assay, this in vivo method became the gold standard for sensitization testing. While using the current gold standard, NAMSA pursued development of better methods to provide more than a yes/no answer and reduce the need for in vivo testing. After years of investment, NAMSA is pleased to introduce a revolutionary assay that is rapid and more cost effective, provides quantitative results and does not require the use of animals. NAMSA s In Vitro Sensitization Assay (IVSA) - just one more way NAMSA is improving testing for the medical device industry. SUMMARY NAMSA s In Vitro Sensitization Assay (IVSA) assesses a medical device s potential to cause a sensitization reaction. This potential is determined through the application of a liquid, gel, paste, powder, device extract (polar and non-polar) or solution onto the surface of a three dimensional reconstructed human epidermis model (EpiDerm MatTek Corp). Twenty four hours after dosing, chemical reactivity (glutathione binding) and cell viability (cytotoxicity - MTT) is measured. Isolation of total RNA and qrt-pcr analysis of seven specific target gene mrnas is performed. Results of these measurements are analyzed using a gated algorithm to calculate a Toxicity Index which is then used to predict a potency category (Non-, Weak-, Moderate-, Strong-, Extreme- Sensitizer).
3 TEST SYSTEM Figure 1: EpiDerm Tissue Model shown under microscopic evaluation is used for sensitization testing. TEST DESCRIPTIN Sensitization is a multiple step process involving non-specific and specific mechanisms. A 3D reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) model cultured at an air/liquid interface is used as the test system. Sensitization is a response to a hapten (a foreign, low molecular weight substance) that acts like an allergen. In some individuals, certain haptens can induce a Type IV (delayed, cell-mediated) hypersensitivity response. The hapten (allergen) must be able to penetrate the cell, combine with intracellular proteins, and then produce an immune response (hapten-specific T cells are primed in lymph nodes by dendritic [Langerhans] cells). The initial exposure is called the induction phase and has no clinical symptoms. The delayed response from a later exposure to the allergen is called the elicitation phase.
4 SENSITIZATIN IS A MULTIPLE STEP PRCESS INVLVING NN-SPECIFIC AND SPECIFIC MECHANISMS Figure 2: The assay described here focuses on the physical and chemical events that occur during induction to accurately identify chemical sensitizers and their potency.
