Oecd Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals

چکیده
2. The in vitro micronucleus (MNvit) assay is a genotoxicity test for the detection of micronuclei (MN) in the cytoplasm of interphase cells. Micronuclei may originate from acentric chromosome fragments (i.e. lacking a centromere), or whole chromosomes that are unable to migrate to the poles during the anaphase stage of cell division. The assay detects the activity of clastogenic and aneugenic chemicals (1) (2) in cells that have undergone cell division during or after exposure to the test substance. This Test Guideline allows the use of protocols with and without the actin polymerisation inhibitor cytochalasin B (cytoB). The addition of cytoB prior to the targeted mitosis allows for the identification and selective analysis of micronucleus frequency in cells that have completed one mitosis because such cells are binucleate (3) (4). This Test Guideline also allows the use of protocols without cytokinesis block, provided there is evidence that the cell population analysed has undergone mitosis.

OECD GUIDELINE FOR TESTING OF CHEMICALS Proposal for a New DRAFT GUIDELINE 434: Acute Dermal Toxicity – Fixed Dose Procedure
1. OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals are periodically reviewed in the light of scientific progress and animal welfare considerations. The original acute Dermal Toxicity Guideline TG 402 (1) was adopted in 1987. Development of a dermal Fixed Dose Procedure (FDP) was considered appropriate, following adoption of the revised Oral FDP, OECD Guideline 420 (2) and deletion of OECD Guidelin...

1. The OECD Test Guideline Programme periodically reviews progress in test method development and refinement, both in terms of scientific advances and animal welfare, to determine whether existing Test Guidelines should be updated and whether new Guidelines should be developed. Toward that end, a new assay for the determination of skin sensitisation in the mouse, the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLN...
