Basis:
no data
No. of animals per sex per dose:
12
Control animals:
yes, concurrent vehicle
Positive control(s):

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
Brain, Liver, Kidney
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
Tissues were minced and cooled to 1- 4 C immediately after killing. Cellular nuclei were isolated by centrifugation in saline at 400 rpm for 2 minutes.Aliquots of about 0.5 to 1 million nuclei were transfered to membrane filters and DNA was eluted under alkaline conditions (pH = 12,3, 1 h, 6 min per fraction). DNA content was determined by a fluorimetric procedure.
