Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test item was not considered to be mutagenic.
Executive summary:

No enhanced mutation rate in the S9 treated or untreated cells was observed in this mouse lymphoma assay. Therefore, the test substance was not considered to be mutagenic.
