The urine mutagenicity assay system. Studies related to recovery, storage and concentration procedures. (1985) 45-50. Studies were conducted to determine (i) the effect of storage on the mutagenic activity of urine spiked with known mutagens, (ii) the efficiency of XAD-2 column on the recovery of complex mixtures from spiked urine samples, and (iii)whether the addition of XAD·7 resin to the column and/or the addition of methylene chloride to the elution process increasesthe recovery of mutagens from urine samplesspiked with complexmixtures. Chemically spiked or nonspiked urine samples wereconcentrated with XAD resin and were tested for mutagenic activity with the Ames Salmonella /microsome assay system. The results indicate that the mutagenic activity of chemically spiked urine remains essentially unchanged after 7 d, but it decreases by approximately 50 % for some compounds after 28 d of storage at -70°C. The recoveryof mutagens from mutagen-spiked urine varied from 0 % to more than 100 % . Mutagenic activities of concentrates from urine samples spiked with complex mixtures were higher if resin columns were eluted with both methylene chloride and acetone than with acetone alone. A slight increasein mutagenic activity was also found if a mixture of XAD-2and XAD-7 instead of XAD-2 alone was used to concentrate urine spiked with air particle extracts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
