Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Diesel fuel was not mutagenic in the mouse lymphoma assay
Executive summary:

The genotoxic activity of diesel fuel was evaluated in a mouse lymphoma assay using L5178Y cells. Assays both in the presence and absence of a mouse liver mirosome fraction were conducted. Dose levels ranged between 0.064 and 0.5 uL/ML.

Results showed no evidence of of genotoxic activity, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. The positive control materials both showed expected results.
