Use of the Syrian hamster embryo cell transformation assay for carcinogenicity prediction of chemicals currently being tested by the National Toxicology Program in rodent bioassays.
The Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) cell transformation assay was used to predict the carcinogenicity of 26 chemicals currently being tested in the rodent bioassay by the National Toxicology Program as part of its program titled "Strategies for Predicting Chemical Carcinogenesis in Rodents." Of these 26 chemicals, 17 were found to be positive in the SHE cell transformation assay while 9 were negati...
متن کاملMouse strains for chemical carcinogenicity studies: overview of a workshop.
Chemical toxicology and carcinogenesis are dynamic disciplines, and the methodologies associated with these evaluations are under constant development and change. Accordingly, early in 1983, at the request of the National Toxicology Program (NTP), the NTP Board of Scientific Counselors established an Ad Hoc Panel on Chemical Carcinogenesis Testing and Evaluation with Dr. John Doull (University ...
متن کاملNonlinearity of dose-response functions for carcinogenicity.
Carcinogenesis data for 315 chemicals were obtained from the National Cancer Institute-National Toxicology Program (NCI-NTP) bioassay programs and were analyzed to examine the shape of carcinogenesis dose-response curves. Tumor site data were more often consistent with a quadratic response than with a linear response, suggesting that the routine use of linear dose-response models will often ove...
متن کاملUse of a multistrain assay could improve the NTP carcinogenesis bioassay.
There are often large strain differences in the response of laboratory animals to toxic chemicals and carcinogens, with some strains being totally resistant to dose levels that cause acute toxicity and/or cancer in other strains. The current National Toxicology Program carcinogenesis bioassay (NTP-CB) uses only a single isogenic strain of mice and rats and may therefore miss some carcinogens. N...
متن کاملThe carcinogenesis bioassay in perspective: application in identifying human cancer hazards.
The selection process for chemicals tested in the rodent carcinogenicity bioassay has been biased toward chemicals suspected of potential carcinogenicity. Results from carcinogenicity bioassays of 400 chemicals tested by the National Cancer Institute/National Toxicology Program (NCI/NTP) were analyzed to determine the dependence of positive results on chemical selection criteria: those suspecte...
