Induction of Rat Liver Enzymes for Activation
Preparation of animals:
-male rats – 200-300 gm each (Charles River, Wistar strain, Charles River Breeding Lab., Inc.)
-single injection of Aroclor 1254 (diluted in corn oil to a conc. of 200 mg/ml) I.P. at a rate of 500 mg/kg five days before sacrifice.
-Drinking water given ad libitum & Purina Laboratory Chow until 12 hours before sacrifice.
-On fifth day of induction, rats were killed by cervical separation decapitated and bled.
Preparation of liver homogenate fraction (S-9):
-All steps are at 0-4°C using cold, sterile solutions and glassware.
-Liver placed in beakers containing 0.15M KCl (approx. 1 ml/gm of wet liver) for weighing.
-After weighing, livers are transferred to a beaker containing 0.15 M KCl (3 ml/gm wet liver) minced with sterile scissors, and homogenized in a Potter-Elvejham apparatus with a Teflon pestle.
-Homogenate centrifuged for 10 minutes at 9000 x g (8700 rpm).
-Supernatant decanted and saved (S-9 fraction).
-Fresh S-9 fractions are distributed in 2 ml portions.
-Quickly frozen and stored at -80°C.
Preparation of S-9 Mix:
S-9 Mix contains per ml:
S-9 (0.04-0.1 ml) used 50 μl/ml
MGCl2 8μM
KCl 33 μM
Glucose-6-phosphate 5μM
NADP 4Μm
Sodium phosphate Buffer pH 7.4 100μM
S-9 Mix is freshly prepared each day, filter sterilized, and kept on ice before and during use.

Mutagenesis Assays on Plates
Media:
Top Agar: 0.6% Difco Agar; 0.5% NaCl
Autoclaved in 100 ml volumes and kept at room temperature before use.
Agar melted in steam and 10 ml of a sterile solution of 0.5 μM 1-Histidine HCl-0.5 μM biotin is added to the molten top agar and mixed thoroughly by gentle swirling.
Minimal-glucose agar medium in Vogel-Bonner Medium E: 1.5% Difco Agar; 2.0% Glucose

Mutagenesis Assay Procedure with S-9 Mix
Added in order to 2ml molten top agar at 45°C
-0.1 ml of overnight nutrient broth culture of bacterial tester strain
-Sample to be tested - 10μl
-0.5 ml of the S-9 Mix.
-S-9 Mix should not be left at 45°C for more than a few seconds.
The contents are mixed by rotating the tube between the palms.
The contents of the tube are then poured on minimal glucose agar plates.
Uniform distribution of the top agar is accomplished by gently tilting and rotating the uncovered plate, and then setting down to harden.
Mixing, pouring and distributing should take less than 20 seconds.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with and without metabolic activation

The compound assayed was found to be non-mutagenic.

Executive summary:

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the compound (TVIC) elicited a mutagenic response in microorganism. An Aroclor 1254-stimulated, rat-liver-homogenate metabolic activation system was included in the assay procedure to provide metabolic steps that the bacteria are either incapable of conducting or that they do not carry our under the assay conditions.

The test method conformed to the procedure published by Ames et al. Mut Res 31:347-364, 1975.

Compound TVIC was examined for mutagenic activity with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538. Each assay was performed in the presence and in the absence of a metabolic activation system. The compound assayed was found to be non-mutagenic.
