Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The preincubation method was used. The test chemical, Salmonella culture, and S-9 mix or buffer were incubated at 37°C, without shaking, for 20 min. The top agar was added. and the contents of the tubes were mixed and poured onto the surface of petri dishes. The histidine-revertant (his+) colonies arising on these plates were counted following 2 days incubation at 37°C. The plates were hand-counted when a precipitate was present; otherwise automatie colony counters were used.
All chemicals were tested initially in a toxicity assay to determine the appropriate dose range. Toxic concentrations were those at which a decrease in the number of his+ colonies was seen or at which there was a clearing in the density of the background lawn. At least five doses of the chemical were tested in triplicate. Each chemical was tested initially at half-log doses up to a dose that elicited toxicity; subsequent trials occasionally used narrower dose increments. Chemicals that were not toxic were tested to a maximum dose of 10 mg/plate. Chemicals that were poorly soluble were tested up to a dose defined by their solubility.
Concurrent solvent and positive controls were run with each trial. The positive controls in the absence of metabolie activation were sodium azide (TA1535 and TA100), 9-aminoacridine (TA97 and TAI537), and 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (TA98). The positive control for metabolic activation was 2-aminoanthracene for all strains.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
Executive summary:

An Ames test was conducted using a preincubation protocol in the absence of exogenous metabolic activation, and in the presence of liver S-9.

Result: triethyl phosphate was negative in the test with and without metabolic activation.
