Examinations

Details of tissue and slide preparation:
CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION:
Range finding study performed to find the maximum tolerated dose

TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES ( in addition to information in specific fields):


DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
Slides fixed with methanol and stained in May-Grunwald solution followed by Giemsa.

METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
Scored for micronuclei and the polychromatic erythrocyte (PCE) to normochromatic erythrocyte (NCE) cell ration.

OTHER:
Evaluation criteria:
Statistically sifnificant dose-related increase in micronucleated PCE's and the detection of a statictically sifnificant postive response for at least one dose level.
Statistics:
The frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes between treated groups and vehicle controls were compared. Tests included Cochran-Armitage test for trend, a one-way analysis of variance and Dunnett’s procedure.
