The National Toxicology Program has undertaken a study to assess the ability of four genetic toxicology assays to predict the carcinogenicity of chemicals in 2-year rodent studies. Two of the assays, used for evaluating in vitro cytogenic damage, were the SCE and chromosome aberration assays in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The results and data for 15 of the chemicals tested in these two assays are presented here. Each chemical was tested with and without exogenous metabolic activation. The chemicals tested were bisphenol A, 2-chloroethanol, C.l. acid orange 10, C.l. disperse yellow 3, C.l. solvent yellow 14, cytembena, D C red 9, 1,2-dibromoethane, FD C yellow 6, malaoxon, D,L-methanol, phenol, sulfisoxazole, titanium dioxide, and tris(2-ethyl-hexyl)phosphate. In vitro cytogenetic results from the other chemicals presented by Tennant et al. have been published by Galloway et al, Gulati et al. and Loveday et. al.
