Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
No guidelines are cited in the source document. A detailed description of the SCE protocol is presented by Galloway et al. (1985, 1987). Briefly, Chinese hamster ovary cells were incubated with study compound or solvent (dimethylsulfoxide) as described in (c) and (d) below, and cultured for sufficient.
time to reach second metaphase division. Cells were then collected by mitotic shake-off, fixed, air-dried, and stained.
GLP compliance:
yes
Remarks:
NTP follows GLP as a matter of policy
Type of assay:
sister chromatid exchange assay in mammalian cells

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
A detailed description of the SCE protocol is presented by Galloway et al. (1985, 1987). Briefly, Chinese hamster ovary cells were incubated with study compound or solvent (dimethylsulfoxide) as described in (c) and (d) below, and cultured for sufficient time to reach second metaphase division. Cells were then collected by mitotic shake-off, fixed, air-dried, and stained.

In the absence of S9, cells were incubated with study compound or solvent for 2 h at 37°C. Then BrdU was added and incubation was continued for 24 h. Cells were washed, fresh medium containing BrdU and colcemid was added, and incubation was continued for 2-3 h.

In the presence of S9, cells were incubated with study compound or solvent for 2 h at 37°C. The cells were then washed, and medium containing BrdU was added. Cells were incubated for a further 26 h, with colcemid present for the final 2-3 h. S9 was from the livers of Aroclor 1254-induced male Sprague Dawley rats.
