Report of the Subpanel on Short Term Tests of the Ad Hoc Panel on Chemical Carcinogenesis Testing and Evaluation to the National Toxicology Program Board of Scientific Advisors: A Summary,
Abstract
The Ad Hoc Panel on Chemical Carcinogenesis Testing and Evaluation prepared a report recommending to the National Toxicology Board of Scientific Counselors methods that NTP should use to detect and evaluate chemical carcinogens. The Ad Hoc Panel consisted of three subpanels: the first dealing with short term tests, the second with subchronic studies, and the third with chronic studies. The first subpanel reviewed the advantages/disadvantages and correlation data for short term tests in general. The NTP short term testing program involved: Salmonella Typhimurium, L5178Y Lymphoma (TK+/-Forward Mutation Assay); Chromosome Aberration and Sister Chromatid Exchange (SCE) - Chinese Hamster Ovary In Vitro; Unscheduled DNA Synthesis (UDS) - Rat Hepatocyte (Rat Liver Primary Cell Culture Assay); Cell Transformation.
