Input variables used in the ITS-2 network.
| Input Nodes | Description |
|---|---|
| LogKow, Cfree, and AUC120 | LogKow is the log of the octanol-water partition coefficient, AUC120 the area under the flux curve at 120 hrs as a percentage of the applied dose and Cfree the free test chemical concentration in the mid epidermis multiplied by the thickness of viable epidermis expressed as a percentage of applied dose. |
| DPRACys, DPRALys | Percentage of peptide remaining after reaction in the DPRA cysteine and lysine assay respectively |
| KEC1.5, KEC3, IC50 | KEC1.5 and KEC3 are the amounts needed to see a 1.5 and 3 fold increase of luciferase activity in the KeratinoSens™ assay. IC50 is used to control for cell viability in the assay |
| CD86 | EC150 (uM) Amount needed for 150% cell surface activation in the U937 assay |
| TIMES-SS | Skin sensitization potency as predicted by the TIMES-SS module – non-sensitizer, weak and moderate/strong/extreme |
