- Acceptance criteria:
1. the mean negative control counts fell within normal ranges
2. the positive control chemicals induced clear increases in revertant numbers confirming discrimination between different strains, and an active S-9 preparation.
3. no more than 5% of the plates were list through contamination or some other unforeseen event.
Evaluation criteria:
The test article was considered mutagenic if:
1. the assay was valid (see above)
2. Dunnett's test gave a significant response (p≤0.01) and the data set(s) showed a significant dose correlation
3. the positive responses described above were reproducible - Statistics:
- The m-statistic was calculated to check that the data were Poisson-distributed, and Dunnett's test was used to compare the counts of each dose with control. The presence or ortherwise of a dose-response was checked by linear regression analysis.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- L-TEE was tested for mutation in five histine-required strains of Salmonella typhimurium, both in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation S-9. All the test strains were tested at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate as the maximum test dose. It was concluded that L-TEE did not induce mutation in five strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102), when tested under the conditions employed in this study.
- Executive summary:
L-TEE was tested for mutation in five histidine-required strains of Salmonella typhimurium, both in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation S-9. All the test strains were tested at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate as the maximum test dose.
The mean number of revertant colonies on negative control plates all fell within acceptable ranges, and were significantly elevated by positive control treatments. No L-TEE treatments of the test strains resulted in increased revertant numbers that could be considered indicative of any test article mutagenic activity. No signs of toxicity were apparent for any of the test plates, either with or without S-9.
It was concluded that L-TEE did not induce mutation in five strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102), when tested under the conditions employed in this study.
