Diss Factsheets

Administrative data

Endpoint:
in vivo mammalian somatic cell study: cytogenicity / erythrocyte micronucleus
Remarks:
Type of genotoxicity: chromosome aberration
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The study is reliable with restrictions. Deficiencies are low animal number per dose group, purity of the test substance not stated, no PCE/NCE ratio given, and no toxic effects reported. However, due to the well reported test, the test institution with established reputation, and the publication in a peer-reviewed high quality journal the data is rated as reliable. Furthermore LD50 values for the test substance could be retrieved from other adequate acute toxicity studies.
