Abstract
A protocol based primarily on current laboratory practices in the performance of the unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay with primary rat hepatocyte cultures has been developed. These guidelines were developed using tabulated responses to a detailed questionnaire completed by North American and European governmental, university and contract laboratories involved with te UDS test. This report identifies those modifications to previously described methodologies which are used on a regular basis and also serves to clarify confusing or inconsistent particles. Although this protocol pertains specifically to the use of primary rat hepatocyte cultures, it can be modified to incorporate other types of cells in which certain aspects remain the same.
