Dosage Studied

H4IIE cells were dosed with three micrograms of UL-14C-PCB77/plate dissolved in DMSO or isooctane, and were harvested at sequential time periods for 4 days. No kidney damage was found as a result of n-octane dosing although the 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (iso- octane) isomer does cause kidney lesions in male rats.
