Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- Bone marrow cells were obtained from the both femora immediately after the sacrifice of an animal.
After excising and careful cleansing of femur the upper end (proximal epiphysis) of the bone was clipped off. Bone marrow was gently flushed from the bone by 1 mL of calf serum into the beaker. The bone marrow was several times mixed by syringe with thin needle and then iot was poured out into the tube. The same procedure was used with the second femur.
200 erythrocytes per animal were evaluated for the proportion of immature and mature erythrocytes in bone marrow: “index of cytotoxicity”= PCE: PCE+NCE.
PCE= polychromatic (=immature) erythrocytes
NCE= normochromatic (=mature) erythrocytes
1000 polychromatic erythrocytes per animal were scored for the incidence of micronucleated immature erythrocytes (PCE) - Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION:
On the basis of results of pilot acute toxicity experiments.
The maximum tolerated dose was determined as follows. From the data the LD50 values were estimated by graphic extrapolation. The estimated values were ca. 3 x 40 mg/kg for males and 3 x 80 for females.
For the administration in the main experiment the doses equivalent to ca. 50% and 80% of estimated LD50 were chosen; i.e. 3 x 20 and 3 x 30 mg/kg for males and 3 x 40 and 3 x 65 mg/kg for females.
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
The bone marrow with serum in tubes was centrifugated (5 min, 1000 rpm). The supernatant was gently removed, two drops of bovine serum were added to the sediment and this cell suspension was mixed on test tube mixer.
Clean and degreased slides were marked by study number and by animal code. One drop of cell suspension was placed onto the slide and using a pusher slide a smear was prepared. Three slides per animal were prepared.
After drying (24 h at laboratory temperature) the smears were fixed by ethanol 5 minutes. Then they were twice rinsed by distilled water and stained by 5% solution of Giemsa for 15 minutes.
METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
Stained smears were examined by light microscope.
200 erythrocytes per animal were evaluated for the proportion of immature and mature erythrocytes in bone marrow: “index of cytotoxicity”= PCE: PCE+NCE.
PCE= polychromatic (=immature) erythrocytes
NCE= normochromatic (=mature) erythrocytes
1000 polychromatic erythrocytes per animal were scored for the incidence of micronucleated immature erythrocytes (PCE)
OTHER: CRITERIA FOR SCORING MICRONUCLEATED IMMATURE ERYTHROCYTES
Micronuclei were identified according to the criteria established by Schmid and Heddle and Salamone:
Colour of micronuclei: purple
Form: generally round or almond shaped (occasional lightly stained and ring shaped)
Borders: sharp
Size: 5-20% size of polychromatic erythrocyte (PCE)
Unit of scoring: number of immature erythrocytes with micronuclei (number of micronuclei per PCE is not a result, occasional more than one micronucleus may appear per PCE). - Statistics:
- The results were evaluated for statistical significance using the tables of mutation frequencies by Kastenbaum and Bowman. (Tables for determining the statistical significance of mutation)

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
Under the experimental design described above, the result of mouse micronucleus test with test substance Chloramin B trihydrate, was negative. The test substance does not induce the micronuclei in the immature erythrocytes in bone marrow of mice therefore it is considered non-mutagenic in this test. - Executive summary:
The test substance Chloramin B trihydrate was tested in in vivo micronucleus test for the detection of chromosome damage induction.
The test was performed according to OECD Test Guideline No. 474 – Genetic Toxicology: Micronucleus Test. The test substance was administered to the mice of ICR strain intraperitoneally in multiple dose regime: 3 doses with 24-hour interval between dosing. The doses administered were as follows: 3 x 20 and 3 x 30 mg/kg in males, resp. 3 x 40 and 3 x 65 mg/kg in females.
Cytogenetic effect was evaluated at two cell harvesting times: 24, 48 hours after last administration. Under the experimental design described above, the result of mouse micronucleus test with test substance Chloramin B, was negative. The test substance did not induce the micronuclei in the immature erythrocytes in bone marrow of mice therefore it is considered non-mutagenic in this test.
