Any other information on results incl. tables

The modified assay was used to rank the test samples, and a corn oil control, for relative mutagenic activity.  The ranking correlated closely  (r=0.97) with potency ratings from previously determined carcinogenicity bioassays.  Samples subjected to solvent refining were non-carcinogenic.

In the table below, the sample number in the study report along with the study ID and mutagenicity index of each substance is listed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

All five solvent refined samples had mutagenicity indices of 0 and are therefore not considered positive in the AMES test for bacterial mutagenicity.
Executive summary:

In an in vitro modified Ames assay, five lubricating base oils were tested using S. typhimurium strain TA98 at concentrations of 50 micrlitres per plate. The solvent-refined samples tested were not mutagenic and had mutagenicity indices of 0. This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it was carried out according to OECD TG 471.
