Identifying Germ Cell Mutagens Using OECD Test Guideline 488 (Transgenic Rodent Somatic and Germ Cell Gene Mutation Assays) and Integration with Somatic Cell Testing

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Test Guideline 488 (TG 488) provides recommendations for assessing germ cell and somatic cell mutagenicity using transgenic rodent (TGR) models. However, important data gaps exist for selecting an optimal approach for simultaneously evaluating mutagenicity in ...

Immunotoxicity Evaluation by Immune Function Tests: Focus on the T-Dependent Antibody Response (TDAR)[Overview of a Workshop Session at the 45th Annual Meeting of the Society of Toxicology (SOT) March 5–9, 2006 San Diego, CA]

Increased expectations from a number of regulatory agencies, e.g., Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMEA), and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) of Japan, call for the evaluation of potential adverse effects on the immune system.
