To offer a sensitive and predictive in vitro method to assess germ cell mutagenicity, we established primordial germ (PG) cell-derived permanent female and male embryonic germ (EG) cell lines of the mouse (strain BALB/cJ). The differences in developmental sensitivity of EG cells and differentiated fibroblast cells of the mouse cell line 3T3 to genotoxicants were tested comparatively under identical test conditions. Cytotoxicity assay was measured by the MTT test and genotoxic effects were determined by sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) rates induced by standard reference mutagens. Both methods are used to assign the chemicals to two classes of in vivo reproductive toxicity, non- and strongly genotoxic to germ cells. Applying linear discriminant analysis, a biostatistical prediction model (PM) was developed for the female cell line EG(3). This procedure identified a single variable, the Ig(SCE(200)EG(3)) as the statistically significant concentration related increase of 200% in the mean number of SCEs per metaphase spread after 3 h of exposure to be sufficient for separation into the classes: non- and strongly genotoxic to germ cells. Applying this PM to the training set of five genotoxic and three non-genotoxic test chemicals, 100% correct classifications were obtained.
