Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
Bone marrow from one femur
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
1000 polychromatic erythrocytes were examined for the precense of micronuclei
Statistics:
All analyses were carried out using the GLM procedure in SAS (1989)

Results and discussion

Test results
Sex:
male/female
Genotoxicity:
negative
Toxicity:
yes
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
Adverse reactions to treatment were observed in both male and females. Two males and two females were found dead on the day of dosing. Additional animals were dosed to replace those that died prior to their scheduled termination.

Small decreases were observed in the % of polychromatic erythrocytes in the dosed females compared to vehicle controls. The decrease achieved statistical significance at the 48 hr sampling time. However these small decreases are considered not to be of biological significance due to teh variation in the values observed between animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
DTBA was negative in the in vivo micronucleus assay
