Interlaboratory collaborative study on sister chromatid exchange induction in vivo
Abstract
Nine laboratories participated in a comparative analysis of the ability of BP/PYR and 2AAF/4AAF to induce sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in vivo, using mice, rats and Chinese hamsters. Bone marrow, intestinal epithelium and peripheral blood lymphocytes were used as target tissues, following either gavage or intraperitoneal (ip) administration of the test chemical. Based on a statistical analysis of the SCE data by ANOVA and using an ..cap alpha.. of 0.05, BP induced a highly significant increase in SCEs in every tissue sampled in each species and among all strains of mice by both routes. Treatment with PYR induced a marginally positive SCE response in 5 of 15 experiments (considering male and female responses separately). By both routes, treatment with 2AAF induced a highly significant increase in SCE frequency in bone marrow cells of all mouse strains, in bone marrow and intestinal epithelial cells of Chinese hamsters. Treatment with 4AAF indiced a marginally positive SCE response in 6 of 15 experiments (considering male and female responses separately). The 2 carcinogens, BP and 2AAF, were clearly active regardless of species, strain, sex, tissue and route of administration and more potent than either of the two purportedly non-carcinogenic structural analogues, PYR and 4AAF,more »
