DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: other: LDH determinations of media

OTHER: nuclear grains were counted in fifty cells in random areas on each of three coverslips for a total of 150 cells per treatment. The net nuclear counts were determined by counting three nucleus-sized areas adjacent to each nucleus and subtracting the average cytoplasmic count from the nuclear count. Replicative synthesis was identified by nuclei completely blackened with grains and such cells were not counted. Nuclei exhibiting toxic effects of treatment, such as dark or uneven staining, disrupted membranes, or irregular shape, were not counted
Evaluation criteria:
If the mean net nuclear count was increased by at least five counts over the vehicle control, the results for a particular dose level were considered significant. A test article was judged positive if it induced a dose-related response and at least one dose produced a significant increase in the average net nuclear grains when compared to that of the vehicle control. In the absence of a dose response, a test article which showed a significant increase in the mean net nuclear grain count in at least two successive doses was considered positive.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The results of the UDS assay indicate that under the test conditions, the test article did not cause a significant increase in the unscheduled DNA synthesis as measured by the mean number of net nuclear grain counts (i.e., an increase of at least 5 counts over the vehicle control), at any dose level. In this study the positive control, DMBA, induced a significant increase in the mean number of net nuclear grain counts over that in the vehicle control. All criteria for a valid test were met. Therefore, the test article is considered to be negative in this study
