APPENDIX 3C
ACTIVITY PROFILES FORGENETIC AND RELATED EFFECTS
Methods
The x-axis of the activity profie (Waters et aL., 1987, 1988) represents the bioassays
in phylogenetic sequence by end-point, and the values on the y-axis represent the loga-rithmically transformed lowest effective doses (LED) and highest ineffective doses(HID) tested. The term 'dose', as used in this report, does not take into considerationlength of treatment or exposure and may therefore be considered synonymous withconcentration. ln practice, the concentrations used in aIl the in-vitro tests were convertedto l.g/ml, and those for in-vivo tests were expressed as mg/kg bw. Because dose units areplotted on a log scale, differences in the relative molecular masses of compounds do not,in most cases, greatly influence comparsons of their activity profies. Conventions fordose conversions are given below.
Profile-line height (the magnitude of each bar) is a function of the LED or HID,which is associated with the characteristics of each individual test system - such aspopulation size, cell-cyc1e kinetics and metabolic competence. Thus, the detection lImitof each test system is different, and, across a given activity profile, responses wil varsubstantiaIly. No attempt is made to adjust or relate responses in one test system to thoseof another.
Line heights are derived as follows: for negative test results, the highest dose testedwithout appreciable toxicity is defined as the HID. A single dose tested with a negativeresult is considered to be equivalent to the HID. Similarly, for positive results, the LEDis recorded. If the original data were analysed statistically by the author, the doserecorded is that at which the response was significant (p -c 0.05). If the available datawere not analysed statisticalIy, the dose required to produce an effect is estimated asfollows: when a dose-related positive response is observed ~ith two or more doses, thelower of the doses is taken as the LED; a single dose resulting in a positive response isconsidered to be equivalent to the LED.
ln order to accommodate both the wide range of doses encountered and positive andnegative responses on a continuous scale, doses are transformed 10garthmicaIly, so thateffective (LED) and ineffective (mD) doses are represented by positive and negative
-515-

numbers, respectively. The response, or logarithmic dose unit (LDUij), for a given testsystem i and chemical j is represented by the expressions
LDUij = -loglO (dose), for HID values; LDU:: 0and (1)LDUij= -loglO (dose x 10-5), for LED values; LDU 2: O.
These simple relationships define a dose range of 0 to -5 logarithmic units for
ineffective doses (1-100 000 llg/mL or mglkg bw) and 0 to +8 logarithmic units foreffective doses (100000-0.001 llg/mL or mg/kg bw). A scale ilustrating the LDU valuesis shown in Figure 1. Negative responses at doses less than 1 llg/mL (mg/kg bw) are setequal to 1. Effectively, an LED value 2: 100000 or an HID value :: 1 produces anLDU = 0; no quantitative information is gained from such extreme values. The dottedlines at the levels of log dose units 1 and -1 define a 'zone of uncertainty' in which posi-tive results are reported at such high doses (between 10000 and 100000 llg/mL ormg/kg bw) or negative results are reported at such low doses (1 to 10 llg/ml or mg/kgbw) as to caU into question the adequacy of the test.

ln practice, an activity profile is computer generated. A data entry programme is usedto store abstracted data from published reports. A sequential file (in ASCII) is created foreach compound, and a record within that file consists of the name and ChemicalAbstracts Service nun,ber of the compound, a three-letter code for the test system (seebelow), the qualitative test result (with and without an exogenous metabolic system),dose (LED or HID), citation number and additional source information. An abbreviatedcitation for each publication is stored in a segment of a record accessing both the test

APPENDIX 3 517
data file and the citation file. During processing of the data file, an average of the loga-rithmic values of the data subset is calculated, and the length of the profile line representsthis average value. AlI dose values are plotted for each profile line, regardless of whetherresults are positive or negative. Results obtained in the absence of an exogenousmetabolic system are indicated by a bar (-), and results obtained in the presence of anexogenous metabolic system are indicated by a caret (A). When all results for a givenassay are either positive or negative, the mean of the LDU values is plotted as a solidline; when conflicting data are reported for the same assay (i.e. both positive andnegative results), the majority data are shown by a solid line and the minority data by adashed line (drawn to the extreme conflicting response). ln the few cases in which thenumbers of positive and negative results are equal, the solid line is drawn in the positivedirection and the maximal negative response is indicated with a dashed line. Profile linesare identified by three-Ietter code words representing the commonly used tests. Codewords for most of the test systems in current use in genetic toxicology were defined forthe US Environmental Protection Agency's GENE-TOX Program (Waters, 1979; Waters& Auletta, 1981). For IARC Monographs Supplement 6, Volume 44 and subsequentvolumes, including this publication, codes were redefined in a manner that shouldfacilitate inclusion of additional tests. N aming conventions are. described below.
Data listings are presented in the text and include end-point and test codes, a short testcode definition, results, either with or without an exogenous metabolic system, theassociated LED or HID value and a short citation. Test codes are organized phylo-genetically and by end-point from left to right across each activity profile and from top tobottom of the corresponding data listing. End-points are defined as follows:A, aneuploidy; C, chromosomal aberrations; D, DNA damage; F, assays of body fluids;G, gene mutation; H, host-mediated assays; l, inhibition of intercellular communication;M, micronuclei; P, sperm morphology; R, mItotIc recombination or gene conversion;S, sister chromatid exchange; and T, cell transformation.
Dose conversions for activity profiles
Doses are converted to f.g/mL for in-vitro tests and to mg/kg bw per day for in-vivaexperiments.
1. ln-vitro test systems
(a) Weight/volume converts directly to f.g/mL.(b) Molar (M) concentration x molecular weight = mg/mL = 103 f.g/mL; mM con-
centration x molecular weight = f.g/mL.
(c) Soluble solids expressed as % concentration are assumed to be in units of mass
per volume (i.e. 1 % = 0.01 g/mL = 10000 f.g/mL; also, 1 ppm = 1 f.g/mL).
(d) Liquids and gases expressed as % concentration are assumed to be given in units
of volumeper volume. Liquids are converted to weight per volume using thedensity (D) of the solution (D = g/mL). Gases are converted from volume tamass using the ideal gas law, PV = nRT. For exposure at 20-37 °C at standardatmospheric pressure, 1 % (v/v) = 0.4 f.g/ml x molecular weight of the gas. Also,1 ppm (v/v) = 4 x 10-5 f.g/mL x molecular weight.

518 lARe MONOGRAPHS VOLUME 69
(e) ln microbial plate tests, it is usual for the doses to be reported as weight/plate,
whereas concentrations are required to enter data on the activity profile chart.While remaining cognisant of the errors involved in the process, it is assumedthat a 2.7-ml volume of top agar is delivered to each plate and that the testsubstance remains in solution within it; concentrations are derived from thereported weight/plate values by dividing by this arbitrary volume if the actualtop agar volume is not reported. For spot tests, a I-ml volume is used in thecalculation.
if Conversion of particulate concentrations given in Iig/cm2 is based on the area
(A) of the dish and the volume of medium per dish; I.e. for a lOO-mm dish:A = nR2 = n x (5 cm)2 = 78.5 cm2. If the volume of medium is 10 mL, then78.5 cm2 = 10 mL and 1 cm2 = 0.13 mL.
2. ln-vitro systems using in-vivo activation
For the body fluid-urine (BF-) test, the concentration used is the dose (in mg/kg bw)of the compound administered to test animaIs or patients.
3. ln-vivo test systems
(a) Doses are converted to mg/kg bw per day of exposure, assuming 100%absorption. Standard values are used for each sex and species of rodent,
including body weight and average intake per day, as reported by Gold et al.(1984). For example, in a test using male mice fed 50 ppm of the agent in thediet, the standard food intake per day is 12% of body weight, and the conversionis dose = 50 ppm x 12% = 6 mg/kg bw per day.
Standard values used for humans are: weight-males, 70 kg; females, 55 kg;surface area, 1.7 m2; inhalation rate, 20 L/min for light work, 30 L/min for ffildexercise.
(b) When reported, the dose at the target site is used. For example, doses given instudies of lymphocytes of humans exposed in vivo are the measured bloodconcentrations in Ilg/mL.
Codes for test systems
For specifie nonmammalian test systems, the first two letters of the three-letter codeword define the test organism (e.g. SA- for Salmonella typhimurium, EC- for Escherichiacoli). If the species is not known, the convention used is -S-. The third letter may be usedto define the tester strain (e.g. SA8 for S. typhimurium TA1538, ECW for E. coliWP2uvrA). When strain designation is not indicated, the third letter is used to define thespecifie genetic end-point under investigation (e.g. --D for differential toxicity, --F forforward mutation, --G for gene conversion or genetic crossing-over, --N for aneuploìdy,
--R for reverse mutation, --U for unscheguled DNA synthesis). The third letter may alsobe used to define the general end-point under investigation when a more completedefinition is not possible or relevant (e.g. --M for mutation, --C for chromosomalaberration). For mammalian test systems, the first letter of the three-letter code worddefines the genetic end-point under investigation: A-- for aneuploidy, B-- for binding,
-
APPENDIX 3 519
c-- for chromos omal aberration, D-- for DNA strand breaks, G-- for gene mutation,1-- for inhibition of intercellular communication, M-- for micronucleus formation, R-- forDNA repair, Sn for sister chromatid exchange, T-- for cell transformation and U-- forunscheduled DNA synthesis.
For animal (i.e. non-human) test systems in vitro, when the cell type is not specified,the code letters -lA are used. For such assays ín vivo, when the animal species is notspecified, the code letters -VA are used. Commonly used animal species are identified bythe third letter (e.g. --C for Chine se hamster, --M for mouse, --R for rat, --S for Syrianhamster).
For test systems using human cells in vitro, when the cell type is not specified, thecode letters -IH are used. For assays on humans in vivo, when the cell type is notspecified, the code letters - VH are used. Otherwise, the second letter specifies the celltype under investigation (e.g. -BH for bone marow, -LH for lymphocytes).
Sorne other specifie coding conventions used for mammalIan systems are as follows:BF- for body fluids, HM- for host-mediated, --L for leukocytes or lymphocytes in vitro(-AL, animaIs; -HL, humans), -L- for leukocytes in vivo (-LA, animaIs; -LH, humans),-- T for transformed cells.
Note that these are ex amples of major conventions used to define the assay codewords. The alphabetized listing of codes must be examined to confirm a specifie codeword. As might be expected from the limitation to three symbols, some codes do not fitthe naming conventions precisely. ln a few cases, test systems are defined by first-lettercode words, for example: MST, mouse spot test; SLP, mouse specifie locus mutation,postspermatogonia; SLO, mouse specifie locus mutation, other stages; DLM, dominantlethal mutation in mice; DLR, dominant lethal mutation in rats; MHT, mouse heritabletranslocation.
The genetic activity profies and listings were prepared in collaboration with
Integrated Laboratory System (ILS) under contract to the United States EnvironmentalProtection Agency; ILS also determined the doses used. The references cited in eachgenetic activity profie listing can be found in the list of references in the appropriatemonograph.
