Mutagenicity testing of ST-film with the Ames test, chromosome test in vitro and micronucleus test in female mice. 1985

T Shibuya, and N Tanaka, and M Katoh, and Y T Matsuda, and K Morita

The mutagenicity of ST-film and its components polyoxyethylenenonylether (NP-10) and polyvinylalcohol (PVAL) were studied by a reverse mutation test in S. typhimurium (Ames test), a chromosome test in cultured Chinese hamster V 79 cells and a micronucleus test in female mice. The results obtained from these test systems were all negative. Thus, it may be concluded that ST-film is not mutagenic either in vitro or in vivo mutagenicity testing systems.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
