What is 1986 Survey of genetic toxicology testing in industry, government contract, and academic laboratories about?
Results of the 1986 Genetic Toxicology Association's survey of industrial, government, contract, and academic laboratories on the status of several assays in genetic toxicology are presented below. 1. The most commonly used assay was the Salmonella typhimurium/mammalian microsomal (Ames) assay, which was used by 83% of all respondents. 2. The next five (5) most commonly used assays were in vitro cytogenetics (72%), in vivo cytogenetics (59%), CHO HGPRT gene mutation (55%), the micronucleus assay (53%), and L517BY gene mutation (45%). 3. The assay showing the greatest percentage increase in routine use was the micronucleus assay which went from 14% in 1984 to 34% in 1986, an increase of 20%. 4. Other assays which increased in routine use were CHO HGPRT mutation (+18%); in vitro cytogenetics (+14%); L5178Y gene mutation (+9%), and the Ames assay (+5%). 5. Routine use of in vitro UDS assays declined by 6%; use of in vitro SCE assays declined by 12%. 6. There was no change in the rate of routine use of in vivo cytogenetics or in vivo SCE assays. 7. Assays routinely performed on contract included the Salmonella assay, CHO HGPRT gene mutation, in vitro cytogenetics, in vitro UDS, in vivo
