Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Test chemical failed to induce gene mutation in the S. typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and TA1538 and hence is negative for mutation in vitro.
Executive summary:

Gene mutation assay was performed to evaluate the mutagenic nature of the test compound. Plate incorporation assay was performed using S. typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and TA1538 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. Positive control mutagens were run concurrently for each strain in each test. When S9 was used, aminoanthrocene was used as a positive control for S9 activity with all strains.In those cases where positive mutagen or S9 controls did not give the expected results, the data from that particular experiment were disregarded. The plates were observed for a dose dependent increase in the number of revertants/plate. Test chemical failed to induce gene mutation in the S. typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and TA1538 and hence is negative for mutation in vitro.
