ICCVAM Announces an Independent
Scientific Peer Review Panel Meeting on an In Vitro Test Method for
Endocrine Disruptor Chemical Screening
The National Toxicology
Program Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative
Toxicological Methods (NICEATM), in collaboration with the Interagency
Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods
(ICCVAM), announces a public meeting of an independent scientific peer
review panel to evaluate the validation status of LUMI-CELL=AE ER
(BG1Luc ER TA), an in vitro transcriptional activation (TA) assay used
to identify chemicals that can interact with human estrogen receptors
(ERs). This test method may be applicable for addressing the ER TA
component of the Environmental Protection Agency Endocrine Disruptor
Screening Program Tier 1 screening battery.
The Panel meeting
will be open to the public at no charge. In addition, public comments
are invited on the documents that will be reviewed by the Panel: a draft
background review document and ICCVAM draft test method
recommendations.
The
draft documents may also be obtained by contacting NICEATM by phone at
919-541-2384 or by email atniceatm**At_Symbol_Here**niehs.nih.gov.
Comments on the documents should be submitted to NICEATM by March 10,
2011. NICEATM will post all comments on the NICEATM-ICCVAM Web site
identified by the individual's name and affiliation or sponsoring
organization (if applicable)
Peer Review Panel Meeting
The
Panel meeting will be held on March 29-30, 2011 at the William H.
Natcher Conference Center at the National Institutes of Health,
Bethesda, MD. The meeting is scheduled to run from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
each day. In order to facilitate planning for this meeting, persons
wishing to attend are asked to register in advance by March 15, 2011. An
online registration form will be available by February 1 on the
NICEATM-ICCVAM Web site at: http://i
ccvam.niehs.nih.gov/contact/reg-form-EDpanel.htm.
About
NICEATM and ICCVAM
ICCVAM is an interagency committee composed of
15 U.S. Federal regulatory and research member agencies that require,
use, or generate toxicological and safety testing information for
chemicals, products, and other substances. ICCVAM evaluates the validity
of new, revised, and alternative methods with regulatory applicability,
and promotes the scientific validation and regulatory acceptance of
safety testing methods that more accurately assess the safety of
chemicals and products and that reduce, refine (less pain and distress),
or replace animal use. ICCVAM has contributed to the approval or
endorsement of 40 alternative safety-testing methods by Federal
regulatory agencies and international organizations since its
establishment in 1997. Appropriate use of these test methods can
significantly reduce animal use and improve animal welfare. ICCVAM has
also identified critical research, development, and validation efforts
needed to further advance numerous other alternative methods. NICEATM
and ICCVAM welcome nominations and submissions of new or modified
alternative safety testing methods with the potential to reduce, refine,
or replace the use of animals in testing while maintaining and promoting
scientific quality and the protection of human health, animal health,
and the environment. Nominations and submissions are welcome from any
individual or organization. Please contact NICEATM at niceatm**At_Symbol_Here**niehs.nih.gov for
more information or to discuss a possible nomination or
submission. Additional information about NICEATM and ICCVAM
validation and test method activities can be found on the NICEATM-ICCVAM
website at http://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov/.
Thank you for your interest and your support of NICEATM and
ICCVAM.
