Under the test conditions, the experimental compound, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, did not exhibit a positive response and is, therefore, considered not be mutagenic in this system. - Executive summary:
This data is being read across from the source study that tested 2,2,4-trimethylpentane based on analogue read across.
Under the test conditions, the experimental compound, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, did not exhibit a positive response and is, therefore, considered not be mutagenic in this system.
TA98: Revertants Test

190 µg/plate isooctane | 37 -55 | 19 -24 | 17 -28 | 12 -25 |
Retest (test 2) of TA98 without and with S9 at dose levels for 7, 20 and 60 µg/plate evidenced no difference from solvent controls.
Observed 5 -10 fold increase of TA98 revertants without and with S9 at 20 and 60 µg/plate in initial test was not confirmed in retest of TA98 without and with S9 at dose levels 7, 20 and 60 µg/plate.
In all experiments, no increase in revertants for other frame shift strains (TA1537 and TA 1538) was observed. Therefore the in test 1 observed genotoxic effects of isooctane in strain TA 98 were rather false positive.
