Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate causes a gradient of mutations in the cortex and outer and inner medullas of the kidney oflacI transgenic rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate (TDBP) is a kidney carcinogen in rats in which exposure results in tumors specifically in the outer medulla. We have previously shown that TDBP induces mutation in the rat kidney. Here we demonstrate that TDBP induces mutation in the kidney of the F344 Big Blue lacI transgenic rat in a gradient with the highest induction (6.4-fold) in the cortex and lowest induction (2.2-fold) in the inner medulla, when given at 2000 ppm in the feed for 45 days. Similar results were obtained at 100 ppm, although the gradient effect was less pronounced. Because exposure to TDBP results in increased cell proliferation in the outer medulla, our results suggest that tissue-specific targeting of TDBP-induced kidney tumors reflects the combination of cell proliferation and mutation induction. This is also the first known case when transgenic animals have been used to study mutation at the suborgan level.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
