Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
CHL cells were treated at different doses for 24 and 48 hours without a metabolic activation system and for 3 hours with S-9 mix from liver homogenate of Wistar rats preterated with PCB. After an additional culture for 24 hours, chromosome preparations were made.
