valid
Untreated negative controls validity:

Additional information on results:
-The negative controls (vehicle controls) gave frequencies of aberrations within the range expected for the V79 cell line
-Both positive control chemicals, i.e. EMS and cyclophosphamide, led to the expected increase in the number of cells containing structural chromosomal aberrations
-Other confounding effects: The test substance caused a clear, statistically significant and dose-dependent increase in the number of structurally aberrant metaphases incl. and excl.gaps after adding a metabolizing system.
No increase in the frequency of cells containing numerical aberrations was demonstrated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
positive with and without

Mutagenic effects were known in chromosome aberration assay with and without metabolic activation study when exposed to V79 cells by 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienenitrile.

Executive summary:

Chromosomal aberration test was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of the test compound 3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienenitrile. V79 cells were used for the study and the test chemical was used at dose levels of 0 – 1,000 μg/ml. The test system was used with and without metabolic activation.The test substance caused a clear, statistically significant and dose-dependent increase in the number of structurally aberrant metaphases incl. and excl. gaps after adding a metabolizing system. No increase in the frequency of cells containing numerical aberrations was demonstrated. The negative controls (vehicle controls) gave frequencies of aberrations within the range expected for the V79 cell line. Both positive control chemicals, i.e. EMS and cyclophosphamide, led to the expected increase in the number of cells containing structural chromosomal aberrations. 3,7-Dimethylocta-2,6-dienenitrile was considered to be a chromosome damaging (clastogenic) agent under in vitro conditions in V79 cells.
