DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 mins at 37°C
- Exposure duration: 2 days at 37°C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
For each replicate plating, the mean and standard deviation of the number of revertants per plate were calculated. For the test article to be evaluated positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of test article.
Statistics:
The mean and standard deviation of the number of revertants per plate were calculated. No statistical analyses.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

2,4,4-trimethyl pentene did not exhibit any mutagenic activity under the conditions of test.
Executive summary:

The mutagenic potential of 2,4,4 -trimethylpentene was assessed in a bacterial reverse mutation assay (the Ames test) with and witout metabolic activation. 2,4,4-trimethyl pentene, did not exhibit any mutagenic activity under the conditions of test.
