Various tests for irritation, phototoxicity, contact sensitivity and photocontact sensitivity of PNF gel were conducted. The results were as follows. 1) In the primary dermal irritation test and trypan blue test, slight erythema was noted in the rabbits treated with 0.8 and 1.6% PNF gel, although similar reaction occurred in those treated with the base. 2) In the test for the primary irritation to the ocular mucosa, severe irritant reactions were caused by 0.8 and 1.6% PNF gel and its base. However these reactions disappeared 7 days after irritation. 3) In the phototoxicity test and contact sensitivity test, no positive reactions were detected by 0.8 and 1.6% PNF gel. On the other hand, in the photocontact sensitivity test, positive reaction were noted in the guinea pig treated with 0.8 and 1.6% PNF gel and its base.

D009092 Mucous Membrane An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.
