Notes:
7 resin acids, 3 symbolically prepared derivatives and the neutral fraction of Chinese colophony were studied by experimental sensitization using a modified FCA method. 4 resin acids, laevopimaric. abietic. podocarpic and tetrahydroabietic. proved to be weak sensitizers Neoabietic, dehydroabietic, isopimarie acid and larixol remained negative. However, the derivative, methyl abietate and calcium abietate. were shown to be moderate sensitizers. and the maleic-modified adduct to be a moderate to strong sensitizer. As laevopimaric acid plays only a minor rote in colophony, abietic acid must he considered a major, even if weak, allergen in non-modified colophony. The neutral fraction of colophony is also partially involved in colophony allergy.
