Method

Target gene:
his operon
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.
