Species / strain
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium, other: TA 98, TA 100, TA 1537 and TA 1537
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- co-factor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of Aroclor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rats or Syrian hamster
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- with metabolic activation: 33 - 3 333 µg/plate
without metabolic activation: 10 - 1000 µg/plate
Controls
- Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
- yes
- Remarks:
- distilled water
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- other: 2-aminoanthracene (+ S9), all strains); 4 - nitrophenylendiamine (-S9, TA 98); sodium azide (- S9, TA 100 and TA 1535); 9-aminoacridine (-S9, TA 1537)
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation
DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min
- Exposure duration: 48 h
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates each in 2 independent experiments - Evaluation criteria:
- A positive response was defined as a reproducible, dose-related increase in histidine-independent (revertant) colonies in any one strain/activation combination. An equivocal response was defined as an increase in revertants that was not dose related, not reproducible, or of insufficient magnitude to support a determination of mutagenicity. A negative response was obtained when no increase in revertant colonies was observed following chemical treatment.
