The LLNA: BrdU-ELISA can be used to classify GHS category 1 chemicals, but a sub-categorization criterion has not been provided. Here, we reanalyzed 32 sensitizers listed in the ICCVAM peer-review data set and proposed an optimal sub-categorization criterion for LLNA: BrdU-ELISA as 6% when using EC1.6. Additionally, we confirmed its applicability to CBA/J mice with 15 sensitizers listed in the LLNA performance standard and confirmed correct assignment of their sub-categories. Consequently, the newly proposed criterion appears to be applicable for practical use for GHS sub-categorization.
