Svensk definition
Tester avsedda för att experimentellt mäta ett ämnes tumörframkallande förmåga, genom att tillföra ämnet (t ex benzantracen) och mäta mängden tumörceller som utvecklas under ett givet tidsintervall. K arcinogenicitetsvärdet anges som regel med milligram per tillväxtmängd av tumör. Trots att denna metod skiljer sig från mutagenicitetstester, försöker forskare ofta att korrelera mätvärdena från karci nogenicitetstester med resultaten från mutagenicitetstester.
Engelsk definition
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.
