Overview of genotoxicity testing and transgenic animal mutagenicity systems -- pt. 2. Comparison of the LACI model and the LACZ model with conventional test systems -- pt. 3. Applications of transgenic animal mutagenicity studies -- pt. 4. Evaluation, conclusions and recommendations N2 - This document provides an introduction to the field of transgenic mutagenicity assays and assesses the possible role of these assays in toxicology testing and mechanistic research. Part I gives a short overview of in vivo genotoxicity testing. Part II gives an overview of the data produced by various assays. Part III discusses the use of the assays in research. Part IV evaluates the role and potential added value of transgenic mutation assays in toxicology and risk assessment. This document is directed at toxicologists, research scientists and risk assessors.--Publisher's description UR - http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2006/9241572337_eng.pdf ER -
