Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

bone marrow from femur

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: preliminary study at max. dose of 2000 mg/kg/day in male and female mice

DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
1 Fixed for a minimum of 10 minutes in methanol and allowed to air-dry
2 Rinsed in purified water
3 Stained in acridine orange solution (0.0125 mg/mL using purified water) for 4 minutes
4 Washed in purified water for 5 minutes
5 Rinsed in cold tap water for 2 minutes
6 Stored at room temperature in the dark until required
7 Immediately prior to scoring, slides are wet mounted with coverslips using purified water

METHOD OF ANALYSIS: fluorescence microscopy

Evaluation criteria:

Acceptance Criteria
The following criteria were applied for assessment of assay acceptability:
The concurrent negative control is considered acceptable for addition to the laboratory historical negative control database.
Concurrent positive control or scoring controls should induce responses that are compatible with those generated in the historical positive control database and produce a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control.
A maximum tolerated dose or maximum feasible dose has been achieved.
Adequate number of cells and doses have been analysed.
Each treated and control group should include at least 5 analysable animals.

Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test chemical is considered clearly negative, if in all experimental conditions examined:
a) None of the treatment groups exhibits a statistically significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes compared with the concurrent negative control,
b) There is no dose-related increase at any sampling time when evaluated by an appropriate trend test,
c) All results are inside the distribution of the historical negative control data (e.g. Poisson-based 95% control limits), and d) Bone marrow exposure to the test item(s) occurred.
Evidence of exposure of the bone marrow to a test item may include a depression of the polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocyte ratio or measurement of the plasma or blood levels of the test item. In case of intravenous administration, evidence of exposure is not needed. Alternatively, ADME data, obtained in an independent study using the same route and same species can be used to demonstrate bone marrow exposure. Negative results indicate that, under the test conditions, the test chemical does not produce micronuclei in the polychromatic erythrocytes of the test species.
