Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- The primary target tissues of this assay were liver and glandular stomach.
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION AND METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
Adequate numbers of slides were pre-coated with 0.5% normal melting point agarose and stored at room temperature. The slides were labelled for animal number, study number and tissue type prior to use for the comet assay.
Approximately 30 μL of the cell suspension was added to 270 μL of 0.5% low melting point (LMP) agarose, mixed thoroughly and 50 μL of this agarose/cell suspension mix was placed onto a pre-coated slide. Two gels were placed on each slide, and 4 gels were prepared for each tissue. Two of the gels were scored for Comets (A and B replicates) and two (C and D replicates) were kept in reserve in case further scoring was required or the gels were damaged during processing. The agarose/cell suspension mix was immediately covered with a glass cover slip, transferred to a cold room at approximately 4 °C in the dark for approximately 20 minutes to allow it to solidify.
Once the LMP agarose had set, the cover slips were removed and the slides gently lowered into freshly prepared lysing solution (pH 10) and refrigerated in the dark overnight. All slides went through the subsequent processing.
Following lysis, the slides were removed from the solution, briefly rinsed with neutralization buffer and placed onto the platform of an electrophoresis bath, which was filled with chilled electrophoresis buffer (pH>13), until the slide surface was just covered. The slides were then left for 20 minutes to allow the DNA to unwind, after which they were subjected to electrophoresis at approximately 0.7 V/cm (calculated between the electrodes), 300 mA for 20 minutes. The buffer in the bath was chilled during the electrophoresis period and the temperature of the electrophoresis buffer was monitored at the start of unwinding, the start of electrophoresis and the end of electrophoresis to ensure the electrophoresis solution was maintained at low temperature (2-10 °C).
At the end of the electrophoresis period, the bath was switched off, the slides gently removed and placed on to a draining surface and drop wise coated with a neutralization buffer and left for at least 5 minutes. The slides were then drained and a repeat of the addition of the neutralization buffer was performed twice. The slides were further drained and fixed in cold 100% methanol for 5 minutes and allowed to air dry.
Once dry the slides were stored prior to scoring. Two of the four processed slides were scored and the remaining slides were stored as backup slides.
- Evaluation criteria:
- Each slide was also assessed for the incidence of ‘hedgehog’ cells to give an indication of cell integrity. Hedgehogs are cells that exhibit a microscopic image consisting of a small or non-existent head, and large diffuse tails and are considered to be heavily damaged cells, although the etiology of the hedgehogs is uncertain.
- Statistics:
- Statistical analysis was considered un-necessary since there were no marked increases over the vehicle control values for the test item dose groups for the liver or glandular stomach. The positive control group demonstrated marked increases over the vehicle control group comparable with the current historical range for the liver and glandular stomach.

There was no noticeable difference in clinical signs between the male and female animals and therefore only male animals were used for the main test.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test item did not induce any significant increases in the percentage tail intensity or median percentage tail intensity compared to the vehicle control in the liver or glandular stomach. Therefore the test item was considered to be unable to induce DNA strand breakage to these tissues in vivo under the conditions of the test.
