- no
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- other: mitomycin C (-S9) and cyclophosphamide (+S9)
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium;
DURATION
- Preincubation period: 24h
- Exposure duration: 10-11h
- Harvest time: 12-13.5 h
For chemicals that caused cell cycle delay, harvest times were extended, generally in 5 h increments, with colcemid present for the last 2 h. For chromosomal aberrations tests, harvest times were similarly extended based on the observation of cell cycle delay in the sister chromatic exchange trials.
SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): Colcemid (2-3h prior harvest)
STAIN (for cytogenetic assays): Giemsa 6%
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 100 cells were scored for each dose in early studies and 200 cells per dose in later studies
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index;
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: yes
- Determination of endoreplication: yes - Statistics:
- The percentage of cells with aberrations was analyzed. Both the dose-response curve and individual dose points were statistically analyzed. A statistically significant (P < 0.003) trend test or a significantly elevated dose point (P < 0.05) was sufficient to indicate a chemical effect.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
DEHP did not induce any noteworthy increase in the number of cells with structural chromosome aberration, both with and without S9 mix, in either experiment or at either harvest time. - Executive summary:
The potential of DEHP to induce structural chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells was evaluated with and without a metabolic activation system according a protocol similar to the OECD 473.
Cells were treated for about 10-11 h and colcemid was added 2-3 hr prior to tell harvest by mitotic shake-off.
The chromosome number was recorded for each cell and chromosome or chromatid type aberrations were classified into three categories: simple (breaks, fragments, double minutes), complex (interchanges, rearrangements), and other (pulverized, more than ten aberrations/cell).
Under these experimental conditions, DEHP did not induce any noteworthy increase in the number of cells with structural chromosome aberration, both with and without S9 mix, in either experiment or at either harvest time.
