DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: other: condition of bacterial lawn
Evaluation criteria:
A response is considered positive if there is a statistically significant dose-related increase in the number of revertants relative to the solvent control, by at least 2-fold (TA 98, 100 and 102) or 3-fold (TA 1535 or 1537), and that this is reproducible and revertants are confirmed by streaking to histidine-free agar plates.
Statistics:
Mann and Whitney U-test and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
(3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane has been tested in a valid and reliable study according to OECD Test Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP. No increase in the number of revertants was observed in any strain with or without activation in either the initial plate incorporation assay or the subsequent preincubation assay. The solvent and positive controls gave the expected results. It is concluded that the substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
