Constituent 1
Test animals
- Species:
- mouse
- Strain:
- B6C3F1
- Sex:
- male
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- intraperitoneal
- Vehicle:
- dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 3 injections
- Frequency of treatment:
- three times at 24-hour intervals
Doses / concentrations
- Remarks:
- Doses / Concentrations:
7.81, 15.63, 31.25, 62.5, 125, or 250 mg/kg
Basis:
no data
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- yes
- Positive control(s):
- The positive control animals received injections of cyclophosphamide.
Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- Bone marrow cells
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- The animals were killed 24 hours after the third injection and blood smears were prepared from bone marrow cells obtained from the femurs.
Air-dried smears were fixed and stained. 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) were scored for the frequency of micronucleated cells in up to 5 animals per dose group. - Statistics:
- The frequency of micronucleated cells among PCEs was analyzed by a statistical software package that tested for increasing trend over dose groups with a one-tailed Cochrane-Armitage trend test followed by pairwise comparisons between each dosed group and the control group.
