Appendix CSentinel Animal Program

C.1. Methods

Rodents used in the National Toxicology Program are produced in optimally clean facilities to eliminate potential pathogens that might affect study results. The Sentinel Animal Program is part of the periodic monitoring of animal health that occurs during the toxicological evaluation of test compounds. Under this program, the disease state of the rodents is monitored via sera or feces from extra (sentinel) or dosed animals in the study rooms. The sentinel animals and the study animals are subject to identical environmental conditions. Furthermore, the sentinel animals are from the same production source and weanling groups as the animals used for the studies of test compounds.

In these toxicity studies, blood samples were collected from each sentinel animal, allowed to clot and the serum was separated. All samples were processed appropriately with serology testing performed by BioReliance Corp., Rockville, MD for the 2-week studies and IDEXX BioResearch (formerly Rodent Animal Diagnostic Laboratory (RADIL), University of Missouri), Columbia, MO, for the 3-month studies, for determination of the presence of pathogens. Evaluation for endo- and ectoparasites was performed in-house by the testing laboratory.

The laboratory methods and agents for which testing was performed are tabulated below; the times at which samples were collected during the studies are also listed (Table C-1, Table C-2).
