Controlsopen allclose all
Untreated negative controls:

Remarks:
DMSO
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: sodium azide (TA1535, TA100), 9-aminoacridine (TA97, TA1537), 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (TA98)
Remarks:
in tests without metabolic activation
Untreated negative controls:

Positive controls:

Remarks:

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Method of application: preincubation

Duration:
preincubation period: 20 min
exposure duration: 48 h
Evaluation criteria:
A chemical was judged mutagenic (+) or weakly mutagenic (+W) if it produced a reproducible, dose-related response over the solvent control, under a single metabolic activation condition , replicate trials. A chemical was judged questionable (?) if the results of individual trials were not reproducible, if increases in his+ revertants did not meet the criteria for a "W+" response, or if only single doses produced increases in his+ revertants in repeat trials. Chemicals were judged nonmutagenic (-) if they did not meet the criteria for a mutagenic or questionable response.
Statistics:
5 test concentrations; determination in triplicate
