Intradermal Diluent (HSA with Phenol)

Intradermal Diluent (HSA with Phenol) is a sterile pharmaceutical solution composed of saline, human serum albumin (HSA), and phenol, primarily used as a negative control in clinical allergy research. In the context of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Phase 0 trial (NCT01292070) for cat allergy, this diluent was administered intradermally to healthy volunteers. Its role is to provide a baseline for skin reactivity, such as wheal and flare responses, ensuring that any observed reactions to experimental agents like the GFD fusion protein or cat hair extracts are accurately attributed to the active substances rather than the injection procedure or the vehicle components.
