Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

It can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported VSV16 did not cause gen mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the tester strains used.
Therefore VSV16 is considered to be non-mutagenic in this bacterail reverse mutation assay.

Executive summary:

In order to investigate the potential of VSV16 for its ability to induce gene mutations the plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (experiment II) were performed with the Salmonella typhimuriam strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 102.

In two independent experiments several concentrations of VSV16 were used. Each assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation. The concentrations, including the control, were tested in triplicate..

No precipation of VSV16 was observed in any tester strain used in experiment I and II (with and without metabolc activation).

Toxic effects of VSV16 were noted in all tester strains used in both experiments.

No biological relevant increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the tester strains were observed following the treatment with VSV16 at any concentration level, neither in presence nor absence of metabolic acivation in experiment I and II.
