Experiments were performed under the following three treatment conditions. 1: short-term treatment for 3 h without S9 mix, followed by a 21-h culture (3 h −S9 mix, shown in groups 1–5), 2: short-term treatment for 3 h with S9 mix, followed by 21-h culture (3 h + S9 mix, shown in groups 6–10), 3: continuous treatment for 24 h without S9 mix (24 h −S9 mix, shown in group 11–15). Mitomycin (MMC) for 3 h −S9 mix, cyclophosphamide (CP) for 3 h + S9 mix, and colcemid (COL) for 24 h −S9 mix were used as positive controls. These articles have been recommended for use in the OECD test guideline (Test No. 487)⁴⁹. DMSO was served as negative control. The numbers of micronucleated cells were counted in 4000 cells and percentages of micronucleated cells were calculated for statistical analyses. ^## < 0.01 as assessed by Cochran-Armitage test for dose-relationship. **p < 0.01 as assessed by Fisher’s exact test using negative control-treated cells. N.D. indicates Not Determined.
