Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It was concluded that 2,2'-ethylenedithiodiethanol did not induce mutation in five
histidine-requiring strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) of
Salmonella typhimurium when tested under the conditions of this study. These
conditions included treatments at concentrations up to 5000 μg/plate (the maximum
recommended concentration according to current regulatory guidelines), in the
absence and in the presence of a rat liver metabolic activation system (S-9).
