Abstract |
The purpose and scope of the standard guide is to present background material and to establish criteria by which protocols and procedures for conducting the L5178Y/TK+/- -3.7.2C mouse lymphoma mutagenicity assay (MLA) can be properly understood and evaluated. These guidelines are also intended to aid researchers and others to gain a better understanding of the critical elements involved with mammalian cell mutagenicity testing. More specifically, the document is intended to provide a guide to researchers that will accomplish the following goals: Provide an understanding of the critical procedures (steps) involved in the performance of the mammalian cell mutagenicity test; Provide generalized criteria by which researchers can evaluate if they are properly performing, utilizing, and interpreting the assay; Provide criteria by which individuals responsible for evaluating mouse lymphoma mutagenicity data can determine if the experiments have been properly performed and interpreted. |
