Optimization of positive controls and determination of genotoxic potential of the sample using reverse mutation test assays on bacterias
MARVANOVÁ, Lenka
The use of the Ames test to determine the mutagenic and therefore carcinogenic potential of chemicals is currently very popular due to its simplicity, speed and costeffectiveness. The aim of this work is to statistically evaluate the historical data of positive and negative controls obtained in the company MediTox s.r.o., based on this data, to design and execute the optimization of positive controls and to verify and apply the findings from the optimization in practice on several samples. Based on the evaluation of historical data of MediTox s.r.o. I concluded that it is necessary to optimize the work with E. coli. I performed the testing of three batches of positive controls, they were carried out without S9 and two batches were carried out with S9. According to the consistent results provided by the controls, it was possible to evaluate the results of the test. As emerged from three tested samples, it is appropriate to replace the E. coli Combo prepared from two bacteria strains by MediTox s.r.o. by a mixture of the above mentionned strains prepared by Xenometrix. It was not necessary to optimize the work with the other strains and positive controls.
