Abstract
Summarizes the work of a major collaborative study concerned with the reliability of short-term tests for the in vitro assessment of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity. The study, which involved the participation of 60 key investigators, was organized in response to concern over the inability of the widely-used Salmonella, or "Ames", assay to detect carcinogenic potential in certain specific casesCitation

Summary report on the evaluation of short-term tests for carcinogens : collaborative study on in vitro tests
United Nations Environment Programme; International Labour Organization; World Health Organization; International Programme on Chemical Safety. Collaborative Study on the Assessment and Validation of Short-Term Tests for Carcinogens (1985)Summarizes the methodology and findings of a large international collaborative study designed to establish the most useful short-term in vivo tests for confirming the mammalian genotoxicity and carcinogenic potential of chemicals. The study, which involved the collaboration of ninety-seven investigators from sixteen countries, evaluated some fifty different in vivo techniques. The objective was to generate a comprehensive data profile from a broad range of short-term test procedures as a means of understanding how various genetic endpoints in ... -
