Method

Target gene:
histidine operon and the trpE locus
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
other: histidine deficient

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results:
negative

Dec-1-ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated was not mutagenic.
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, and TA100 of S. typhimurium and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were exposed to a homogeneous emulsion of dec-1 -ene, homopolymr, hydrogenated in surfactants, Sorbitan stearate and Polysorbate 60 at concentrations of 156.25, 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500, or 5000 μg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation using the pre-incubation method.

Dec-1 -ene, homopolymer, hydrogenated was tested up to limit concentrations (5000 μg/plate or 5 mL/plate). The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restrictions because it is compliant with GLP guidance and internationally accepted study guidelines.

This study will influence the DNEL.
