Description
This course will be available On Demand: July 3, 2013

Compounds that can change the genetic information of a living cell may lead to mutations. These can result in a variety of toxic effects, ranging from cell death to the development of a malignant tumor. Since there are apparent relationships between mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, genotoxicity screening assays are considered of value in identifying compounds with potential carcinogenic effect and are widely used in risk assessment. While a variety of assay are currently in use in the area of regulatory genotoxicity, still, substantial in vivo testing is required for the confirmation of genotoxic prediction. Genotoxicity testing requires separate assays for measurement of gene mutations and chromosomal damage.

This 90-minute accredited training will define genotoxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, provide updates issued by regulatory entities and specify examples for in vitro protocol to evaluate gene mutations and chromosomal damage.
