METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays):

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: non for preliminary toxocity test, triplicate for main test

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED:

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: reduction in number of spontaneous revertants (below a factor 0.5 fold under the concurrent solvent control value and/or bacterial lawn should exhibit evidence of thinning when viewed microscopically.

Evaluation criteria:

A minimun of four non-toxic test item dose levels is required for the assay to be acceptable

A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if one or more of the following criteria are not met:
A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby 1979)
A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations
Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges
Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-gistorical range response)

Statistics:

Statistical analysis of data as determinded by UKEMS (Mahon et al 1989)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results: negative

The testing material was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.

Executive summary:

Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were treated with the testing material, Soybeanoil, polymerized, using both the Ames plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods at five dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolising system (S9). The dose range for the first experiment was determined in a preliminary toxicity assay and was 50 to 5000 µg/plate.

No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation or exposure method.

The test item,Soybeanoil, polymerized, was considered to be non‑mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
