Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: not applciable (plate incorporation method)
- Exposure duration: at the end of the working day, each inoculated flask will be placed in a shaker/incubator programmed to begin shaking at approximately 125 to 175 rpm and incubating at 37± 2°C for approximately 12 to 14 hours before the anticipated time of harvest. All cultures will be harvested by spectrophotometric monitoring of culture turbidity rather than by duration of incubation since overgrowth of cultures can cause loss of sensitivity to some mutagens. Cultures will be removed from incubation at a density of approximately 1E09 cells/mL.
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): not applicable
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): 48 to 72 hours
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): not applicable

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): not applicable
SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): not applicable
STAIN (for cytogenetic assays): not applicable

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:duplicate (initial toxicity - mutation assay), triplicate (confirmatory mutagenicity assay)

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED:

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: A minimum of three non-toxic dose levels will be required to evaluate assay data. A dose level is considered toxic if it causes a > 50% reduction in the mean number of revertans per plate relative to the mean vehicle control value (this reduction must be accompanied by an abrupt dose-dependent drop in the revertant count) or a reduction in the background lawn. In the event that less than three non-toxic dose levels are achieved, the affected portion of the assay will be repeated with an appropriate change in dose levels.

Evaluation criteria:

For a test article to be evaluated positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of test article as specified below:
- Strains TA 1535 and TA 1537: data sets will be judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response is equal to or greater than 3.0-times the mean vehicle control value
- Strains TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA: data sets will be judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response is equal to or greater than 2.0-times the mean vehicle control value. An equivocal response is a biologically relevant increase in a revertant count that partially meets the criteria for evaluation as positive. This could be a dose-responsive increase that does not achieve the respective threshold cited above or a non-dose responsive increase that is equal to or greater than the respective threshold cited. A response will be evaluated as negative, if it is neither positive nor equivocal.
