Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

It can be stated that during the described in vitro chromosomal aberration test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test material methylenbis(butl thioglycolate or MBTester) did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in the used V79 chinese hamster cell line.

Therefore, thet material MBT is considered to be non -clastogenic in this chromosome aberration test.
