2AA: 2-aminoanthracene; 9AA: 9-aminoacridine; MMS: methyl methanesulfonate; MR: mutation rate; NPD: 4-nitro-1,2-phenylenediamine; SAZ: sodium azide.
DMSO was the vehicle of the test item and positive control substances: NPD, 9AA, and 2AA; ultrapure water was the vehicle for the SAZ and MMS. The mutation rates of the test item, untreated, and positive controls were calculated using the data from their respective vehicle controls.
