Summary of Test Method4.1 The Ames Salmonella mutagenicity assay is the mostwidely used short-term in vitro genotoxicity test. The assayemploys specific strains of the bacterium Salmonella typhimu-rium that have been muta
17、ted at a genetic locus precluding thebiosynthesis of the amino acid histidine which is required forgrowth and reproduction. Additional genetic alterations, someof which are important markers of strain identity, are alsopresent.4.2 The mutagenicity assay relies upon treating the bacteriawith test mat
18、erial over a range of doses immediately below theconcentration showing significant toxicity to the bacteria.Treated bacteria are then grown on agar plates deficient inhistidine. Bacteria possessing the original mutation in thehistidine locus cannot form colonies under these growthconditions, but a c
19、ertain fraction of treated bacteria which haveundergone a second mutation in the histidine locus revert tohistidine-independence and are able to grow and form visiblecolonies. The number of such revertant colonies per agar plateis an indicator of the mutagenic potency of the test material.4.3 Typica
20、lly, the test is conducted using a number ofbacterial strains selectively sensitive to various chemicalclasses of mutagens. Treatment with test compound is carriedout in the presence and absence of a rodent liver extractcapable of mimicking in vivo metabolic activation of promu-tagenic compounds (se
21、e 3.2 for a listing of terms and abbre-viations used.) With this combination of test conditions, theAmes test becomes a very effective screening tool for chemicalmutagens. Moreover, because many mutagens are also carcino-gens, the test is often used as a screen for carcinogenicpotential.4.4 Although
22、 the ability of the Ames test to assess carcino-genic potential is good for many classes of compounds, it hasbeen shown to be generally unsuited to the testing of water-insoluble complex mixtures such as mineral oils. To circum-vent poor solubility and other difficulties, this test methodemploys an
23、extraction of the test oil with DMSO to produceaqueous-compatible solutions which readily interact with themetabolic activation system (S-9) and with the tester bacteria.The concentration of S-9 and of NADP cofactor are increasedrelative to the unmodified assay, and hamster rather than ratliver S-9
24、is used. The slope of the dose response curve relatingmutagenicity (TA98 revertants per plate) to the dose of extractadded is used as an index of mutagenic potency (MI).4.5 In this test method, the MI (the slope of the doseresponse curve, and a measure of mutagenic potency) of aDMSO extract of an oi
25、l is compared to the mutagenicityindices of other oil extracts whose dermal carcinogenicities areknown. By correlation, the potential dermal carcinogenicity ofthe test oil can be assessed.5. Significance and Use5.1 The test method is based on a modification of the AmesSalmonella mutagenesis assay. A
26、s modified, there is goodcorrelation with mouse skin-painting bioassay results forsamples of raw and refined lubricating oil process streams.5.2 Mutagenic potency in this modified assay and carcino-genicity in the skin-painting bioassay also correlate with thecontent of 3 to 7 ring PACs, which inclu
27、de polycyclic aromatichydrocarbons and their heterocyclic analogs. The strength ofthese correlations implies that PACs are the principal mu-tagenic and carcinogenic species in these oils. Some of themethods that have provided evidence supporting this view arereferenced in Appendix X1.6. Interference
28、s6.1 The test method is designed to detect mutagenicitymediated by PACs derived from petroleum. The assay isdisproportionately sensitive to nitroaromatic combustion prod-ucts and as yet unidentified components of catalytically orthermally cracked stocks such as light or heavy cycle oils.

Precision and Bias12.1 Precision:12.1.1 The fundamental data produced from the use of thistest method is an estimate of the mutagenic potency of test oils(MI). This value, which is calculated by the procedure detailed
33、in 10.1.1, is used to categorize oils according to their potentialfor dermal carcinogenicity, as measured using a standardmouse skin-painting bioassay (10.2.2).E1687 10412.1.2 Therefore, there are two basic considerations inascertaining the precision of the test method: What are therepeatability and
34、 reproducibility of the assay in terms of MIdetermination, and what are the repeatability and reproducibil-ity of the categorization of dermal carcinogenic potential of theoils.12.1.3 The following discussion is based on the results of aninterlaboratory study conducted using five coded oil samplesan
35、d Reference Oil No. 1. This study was done prior to arevision in the method that advised dilution of DMSO extractsto produce linear responses over the 0 to 60 Ldose range (See9.1.1). Six laboratories participated in the study, each reportingdata from two independent assays. Mutagenic potency isrepre
36、sented by MI, the slope of the dose-response curve asdetermined by regression analysis. For the purposes of deter-mining precision of the test method, MI was determined usingthe steps in 10.1.1.12.1.4 Linear regression was used to fit data that showed alinear increase in revertants over the entire d
37、ose-range. Qua-dratic regression was used to fit data that exhibited a decline inthe rate of increase in revertants with dose at the high end ofthe dose range (a plateau). In addition, dose ranges for TestOils 2, 3, and Reference Oil No. 1 were truncated to the 20 Ldose and fit by linear regression
38、analysis. The same regressionprocedure was used to fit the data from all laboratories for agiven oil.12.1.5 Repeatability of Mutagenicity Index Determination:12.1.5.1 Based on analysis of the repeat assay data from thesix laboratories participating in the interlaboratory study, Table2 illustrates in
39、tralaboratory repeatability. Note that the methodused for the interlaboratory study was different from that nowrecommended in that extracts were not diluted to achievelinearity of dose response. However, the MIs obtained by linearregression analysis of the initial linear regions (up to 20L/plate) sh
40、ould be similar to those obtained for dilutedextracts. Repeatability and reproducibility of MI determinationon diluted extracts would be expected to be somewhat bettersince the entire dose range is used in the calculation.12.1.5.2 Standard deviations ranged from a low of zero to ahigh of 50 % of the
41、 mean of the two replicates for those oilswith MI greater than 0.5. (Percent standard deviations for OilNo. 1 were higher in tests where MIs were less than 0.5, andrevertant increases were barely significant or not significantrelative to the solvent control (Laboratories A, B, and D).These deviation
42、s were not considered an accurate reflection ofthe repeatability of the assay.)12.1.6 Reproducibility of Mutagenicity Index Determina-tion:12.1.6.1 The data in Table 3 show the interlaboratoryreproducibility of MI determination in six testing laboratories.12.1.6.2 Standard deviations of the mean MIs
43、 from sixdeterminations for each oil range from a low of 14 % of meanto a high of 67 % of mean for the weakly active Test Oil No.1. For oils with MIs 0.5, the highest standard deviation as apercentage of mean was for Test Oil No. 4 29 %. Theseresults indicate that interlaboratory reproducibility is
44、similar tointralaboratory repeatability.12.1.7 Repeatability and Reproducibility of Assignment ofOils to Categories of Dermal Carcinogenic Potential:12.1.7.1 Table 4 provides an analysis of the repeatabilityand reproducibility of assignment to categories of dermalcarcinogenic potential based on MI f

Two of the four inconsistently classified oils(5D and 5F)
46、were very near the boundary with the consistentgroup. All of the tests that led to inconsistent classificationwere paired with tests that indicated a need for corroborativedata for correct classification. The revised method changed theclassification of results for six tests as shown in Table 4. TheT
