The standard method for assessing the carcinogenicity of lubricating oil base stocks is the mouse skin-painting bioassay. This assay has the advantage of directly measuring the endpoint of interest, dermal carcinogenicity, but has the drawback of being time-consuming and expensive. For this reason,

A low-viscosity carcinogenic oil was extracted with dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and the extract fractionated into 1-3 ring aromatic components, 4-6 ring polycyclic aromatic compounds (PCAs) and polar materials. Each of these fractions was tested in the Mobil modified Ames assay at the same concentrat
A procedure for the assay of free fatty acids which has been adapted for the assay of phospholipase A2 is described. This consists of the conversion of long chain fatty acids to fatty acyl-CoA using the Mg2(+)-dependent fatty acyl-CoA synthetase, [alpha-32P]ATP and coenzyme A. In order to ensure the
