5. TOXICITY ID: <strong>95</strong>-<strong>53</strong>-4<br />
DATE: 07.01.2005<br />
The positive control benzo(a)pyren was functional<br />
Test condition : TRANSFORMATION ASSAY (in brief)<br />
<strong>Chemicals</strong> were administered to the cells in sealed flasks.<br />
After a 24h treatment period the cells were washed free of the chemicals<br />
and maintained through a series of fresh media changes for 6 weeks at<br />
which time the induction of Type 1, 2 and 3 morphological transformants<br />
were scored.<br />
Tests were performed without exogenous metabolic activation.<br />
Concurrent cytotoxicity determinations were performed.<br />
CONTROLS<br />
Positive controls with benzo[a]pyrene 1µg/ml<br />
Negative controls with 1% DMSO<br />
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS<br />
Fisher's exact test<br />
Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />
special investigation<br />
13.02.2004 (379) (380)<br />
Species : other: mouse; mammalian cell transformation assay<br />
Sex :<br />
Strain : other: embryonic mouse fibroblasts (C3H/10T1/2 Clone 8)<br />
Route of admin. :<br />
Exposure period :<br />
Frequency of treatm. :<br />
Post exposure period :<br />
Doses : 0, 150, 300, 600 µg/ml in culture medium<br />
Result : positive<br />
Control group : yes<br />
Method : other: Reznikoff, C.A. et al. (1973): Cancer Res. 33, 3231-3238<br />
Year : 1985<br />
GLP : no data<br />
Test substance : other TS: no data on purity<br />
Result : In the presence of S9 mix, no transformed foci were recorded at 150 µg otoluidine/ml,<br />
one Type II focus was identified at 300 µg/ml and 3 Type II<br />
transformed foci observed at 600 µg/ml.<br />
In the absence of S9 mix no transformed foci were recorded at any<br />
concentration of o-toluidine.<br />
In the presence of S9 mix the frequency of transformation and the<br />
distribution of transformed foci among 4 flasks is indicative of a weak celltransforming<br />
potential.<br />
The positive controls were functional.<br />
Test condition : Preliminary Cytotoxicity determinations were performed to establish the<br />
range of concentration.<br />
CELL TRANSFORMATION ASSAY<br />
<strong>Chemicals</strong> were administered to the C3H/10T1/2 Clone 8 cells in flasks.<br />
After a 24h treatment period the cells were washed free of the chemicals<br />
and maintained through a series of fresh media changes for 8 weeks at<br />
which time the induction of Type 1, 2 and 3 morphological transformants<br />
were scored.<br />
--- CONTROLS<br />
Positive controls with benzo[a]pyrene, 3-methylcholanthrene, 4nitroquinoline-N-oxide,<br />
cyclophosphamide, ethylmethanesulfonate and 2acetylaminofluorene<br />
(2-AAF)<br />
Negative controls with 1% DMSO<br />
