Contents Notes
Part 1. Overview of genotoxicity testing and transgenic animal mutagenicity systems -- Overview of genotoxicity testing -- Constructions/production of transgenic animals using as examples the lacI and lacZ mutation models -- The transgenic mutagenicity assay-methodology using as examples lacI and lacZ mutation models -- Further transgenic mutagenicity assays -- Parameters and criteria for valid experimental design -- Part 2. Comparison of the lacI model and the lacZ model with conventional test systems -- Introduction to part 2 -- Comparison of the Muta (superscript TM) mouse and Big Blueª assays -- Transgenic assays-comparison with other assays -- Transgenic assays and carcinogenicity testing -- Part 3. Applications of transgenic animal mutagenicity studies -- Mutation frequencies and sequencing data and applications of this information in mechanistic studies -- Part 4. Evaluation, conclusions and recommendations -- Evaluation of the transgenic animal mutagenicity assays based on this review of the current literature -- Conclusions -- Recommendations. This document provides an introduction to the field of transgenic mutagenicity assays and assesses the possible role of these assays in toxicology testing and mechanistic research. Part I gives a short overview of in vivo genotoxicity testing. Part II gives an overview of the data produced by various assays. Part III discusses the use of the assays in research. Part IV evaluates the role and potential added value of transgenic mutation assays in toxicology and risk assessment. This document is directed at toxicologists, research scientists and risk assessors.--Publisher's description.
