[主題詞] Carcinogenicity Tests
[英文釋義] Tests to experimentally measure the tumor-producing/cancer cell-producing potency of an agent by administering the agent (e.g.,benzanthracenes) and observing the quantity of tumors or the cell transformation developed over a given period of time. The carcinogenicity value is usually measured as milligrams of agent administered per tumor developed. Though this test differs from the DNA-repair and bacterial microsome MUTAGENICITY TESTS,researchers often attempt to correlate the finding of carcinogenicity values and mutagenicity values.
