DURATION : See table
ANALYSIS OF METAPHASE CELLS: Evaluation of the cultures is performed [according to standard protocol of the "Arbeitsgruppe der Industrie, Cytogenetik"] using microscopes with 100x oil immersion objectives.
SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): Colcemid
STAIN: BrdU
NUMBER OF METAPHASE SPREADS ANALYSED PER DOSE (if in vitro cytogenicity study in mammalian cells): At least 300
METHODS OF SLIDE PREPARATION AND STAINING TECHNIQUE USED:
The cultures are harvested by centrifugation 24 h after beginning of treatment. The supernatant is discarded and the cells are resuspended in approximately 5 mL hypotonic solution (0.4 % KCl). The cell suspension is incubated at room temperature for 20 min. After removal of the hypotonic solution by centrifugation the cells are fixed with 3+1 methanol + glacial acetic acid. The fixation procedure is repeated twice. Slides are prepared by dropping the cell suspension onto a clean microscopic slide. The cells are stained with giemsa and according to the Fluorescent plus Giemsa technique, respectively. The slides are coverslipped using 2-3 drops of Eukitt(R). Afterwards they are air dried.
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index
- Any supplementary information relevant to cytotoxicity: The number of polyploid cells is scored
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: Near tetraploid karyotype
- Determination of endoreplication: N/A
- Methods, such as kinetochore antibody binding, to characterize whether micronuclei contain whole or fragmented chromosomes (if applicable): N/A
- OTHER: - Evaluation criteria:
- All structural chromosomal aberrations including breaks, fragments, deletions, exchanges and chromosomal disintegration are recorded. Gaps are recorded as well but not included in the calculation of the aberration rates. The definition of a gap is as follows: an achromatic region (occurring in one or both chromatids) independent of its width. The remaining visible chromosome regions should not be dislocated either longitudinally or laterally.
Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test chemical is considered to be clearly positive if, in any of the experimental conditions examined:
a) at least one of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control,
b) the increase is dose-related when evaluated with an appropriate trend test,
c) any of the results are outside the distribution of the historical negative control data
When all of these criteria are met, the test chemical is then considered able to induce chromosomal aberrations in cultured mammalian cells in this test system.
Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test chemical is considered clearly negative if, in all experimental conditions examined
a) none of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control,
b) there is no concentration-related increase when evaluated with an appropriate trend test,
c) all results are inside the distribution of the historical negative control data.
The test chemical is then considered unable to induce chromosomal aberrations in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocyte cells in this test system. - Statistics:
