Abstract:
The statistical evaluation of the in vivo micronucleus assay is focused on multiple contrast tests for comparisons versus the negative control for count data taking the between-animals variability into account. For a possible claim the compound is not genotoxic in the micronucleus assay a proof of safety approach is proposed. For these statistical approaches user-friendly software is free available.
