Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test substance was dissolved in water and administered at a concentration of 235 mg/kg bw. The control animals received 0.1 mg/10 g water.
Animals were processed at intervals of 6, 24, 48 and 72 h following administration of the substance. The bone marrow was washed into a test tube with calf serum and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min then dried in air and, after 24h, fixed for 3 min in methanol. When dry, preparations were stained in Giemsa-Romanowski stain diluted with 1:3 with distilled water.
The incidence of micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes was evaluated and the results were subjected to the t-test at p<0.05
GLP compliance:
no
Type of assay:
micronucleus assay
