Title:
METHOD FOR TESTING LEUKODERMA TOXICITY AND MELANOSIS TOXICITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/203999
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing an evaluation method that can evaluate leukoderma toxicity or melanosis toxicity at high sensitivities. Provided is a leukoderma toxicity test method comprising a step for applying a test substance to the tail of a hairless mouse that can produce melanin, and a step for evaluating the presence/absence and/or degree of induction of leukoderma on the tail of the hairless mouse and scoring the leukoderma toxicity of the test substance on the basis of the results of the evaluation.
