Controls

Controls 1

Untreated negative controls:

no

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:

yes

True negative controls:

no

Positive controls:

yes

Positive control substance:

other: sodium azide (TA 1535, TA 100), 9-aminoacridine (TA 1537), 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (TA98)

Remarks:

without metabolic activation

Controls 2

Untreated negative controls:

no

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:

yes

True negative controls:

no

Positive controls:

yes

Positive control substance:

other: 2-aminoanthracene

Remarks:

with metabolic activation

Evaluation criteria:

An individual trial was judged as:
- mutagenic: if dose-related increase over the corresponding solvent control was seen
- weakly mutagenic: if low-level dose response
- questionable: if dose-related increase was judged to be insufficiently high to be called weakly mutagenic or only a single dose was elevated or a non -dose-related increase was seen

A chemical was judged mutagenic, if it produced a reproducible, dose-related increase in revertants over the corresponding solvent control in replicate trials.
