SUMMARY
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential o f ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO (linear)) to suppress the primary humoral immune response following exposure via oral gavage for up to 28 consecutive days. Groups o f 20 male mice each were administered the test substance at daily levels of 0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg. The group designated 30/0 mg/kg day was included to assess potential reversibility/recovery and was therefore administered the test substance for 23 consecutive days followed by 6 consecutive days of vehicle (water) administration. Body weights, food consumption measurements, and clinical observations were recorded during the in-life period. Prior to sacrifice, the immune system was stimulated by injecting sheep red blood cells (SRBC) on test day 24 and blood samples were collected from each mouse on test day 29. The serum samples were assayed for their concentration o f SRBCspecific IgM antibody to provide a quantitative assessment o f humoral immune response. Serum from animals similarly challenged with cyclophosphamide, a positive control immunosuppressive agent, was analyzed concurrently to provide confirmation that the assay performance was acceptable for detection of immunosuppression. Clinical pathology data were collected at test day 29 and assessed effects on hematology and clinical chemistry. At sacrifice, each animal was examined grossly and selected organs were weighed (brain, spleen, and thymus); selected tissues (as outlined in the methods section) were retained and examined histologically. Thymus and spleen cells were manually counted from single-cell suspensions prepared from the collected tissue.
Samples o f the dosing formulations were chemically analyzed and the results indicated that the test substance was at the targeted concentrations, homogeneously mixed, and stable under the conditions o f the study.
Test substance-related toxicity was observed during the in-life portion of the study at 1 mg/kg and higher. Adverse reductions in body weights, weight changes, food consumption, and food efficiency occurred at 10 mg/kg and higher; at 30 and 30/0 mg/kg, these reductions were accompanied by low incidences o f clinical observations indicative o f toxicity. Effects on body weight and food consumption parameters were detected at 1 mg/kg, but these reductions were not considered adverse. There were no test substance-related effects observed at 0.3 mg/kg during the in-life portion of the study.
Mice dosed with >1 mg/kg had decreased serum HDL cholesterol, increased serum albumin, and variable changes in serum globulin. Mice dosed with >10 mg/kg had increased neutrophils and monocytes, decreased eosinophils, icteric serum, decreased serum total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and increased serum corticosterone. Mice dosed with 30 mg/kg also had decreased red cell mass parameters (red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit), increased reticulocytes, and decreased lymphocytes. The only parameter with complete recovery in the 30/0 mg/kg group was non-HDL cholesterol. Partial recovery was observed for icteric serum, total and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and serum corticosterone.

Test substance-related organ weight effects were observed in the liver, spleen, and thymus. Mean liver weight parameters were increased at >0.3 mg/kg, mean spleen weight parameters were decreased at >1 mg/kg, and mean thymus weight parameters were decreased at >10 mg/kg.
Test substance-related gross observations were observed at doses >10 mg/kg and included large and discolored livers, small spleens, and small thymuses.
Microscopic examination of the liver demonstrated mild hepatocellular hypertrophy at 0.3 mg/kg; moderate to severe hepatocellular hypertrophy with secondary individual cell necrosis and focal necrosis at doses >1 mg/kg; and increased hepatocellular mitotic figures, hepatocellular fatty change, and bile duct hyperplasia at doses >10 mg/kg.
Microscopic examination o f lymphohematopoietic organs (spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes) revealed increased granulocytic hematopoiesis in the bone marrow (>10 mg/kg) and increased erythrocytic hematopoiesis in the bone marrow and spleen (30/0 mg/kg). Test substance-related lymphoid depletion/atrophy was present in the thymus (>10 mg/kg) and spleen (30 mg/kg) o f less than half o f the mice at the respective dose levels. Mesenteric and popliteal lymph nodes had no test substance-related effects.
There was test substance-related evidence o f immunosuppression in mice at 10, 30 and 30/0 mg/kg. The anti-SRBC titers for these groups were reduced 20, 28 and 30% when compared to the control group mean. There was no difference in mean primary humoral immune response between the 30 and 30/0 mg/kg, indicating that the shortened dosing period did not have an impact on this endpoint.
No significant changes in total thymus or spleen cell number were noted in animals dosed with 0.3 or 1 mg/kg. Significant decreases were noted in animals dosed with >10 mg/kg.
Under the conditions of this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for APFO for systemic toxicity in male mice was 0.3 mg/kg and for immunosuppression was 1 mg/kg.

Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Mice
DuPont-18318
INTRODUCTION
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO (linear)) to suppress the primary humoral immune response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) when administered by oral gavage to male mice for up to 28 consecutive days. Additional endpoints of toxicity were also evaluated. The oral route of administration was selected because it is a potential route of human exposure.
Ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO; FC-143, Cg; C7F15COONH/; CAS Registry number 3825-26-1) is a surfactant used as a processing aid in the production o f fluoropolymers. Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA; C7F15COO'), the dissociation product o f APFO, is not metabolized*1' and has been identified in blood samples from exposed workers and the general population.*2'3,4'
PFOA has been reported to inhibit the ability o f mice to make antibodies to a T-cell dependent antigen.*5' The reported study employed a single 0.02% APFO in chow (approximately 30 mg/kg) for 16 days. In order to better characterize the immune response following exposure to this material, APFO was administered by oral gavage using a broad range o f doses.
Dosages for this study were selected based on the results o f a 14-day oral gavage study in male rats and mice.*6'

MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Test Guidelines
The study design complied with the following test guidelines:
U.S. EPA, OPPTS 870.7800: Immunotoxicity, Health Effects Test Guidelines (1998)
B. Test Substance
(Appendix A)
APFO (linear), was supplied by the sponsor as a white to slightly opaque liquid in a 19.5% aqueous solution. The bulk test substance was used within the period of approved use as defined by the expiration date listed on the Certificate o f Analysis (COA) that is provided in Appendix A. In addition, no evidence o f instability, such as a change in color or physical state, was observed.
C. Test System
On October 6, 2005, 132 male Crl:CD(ICR) mice, with an assigned birth date o f August 22, 2005, were received from Charles River Laboratories, Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Crl:CD(ICR) mouse was selected based on consistently acceptable health status and on extensive experience with this strain at Haskell Laboratory. By utilizing the Crl:CD(ICR) mouse, immunotoxicity studies can be conducted in the same strain that is used for other toxicology studies.

D. Animal Husbandry
1. Housing
All animals were housed singly in stainless steel, wire-mesh cages suspended above cage boards.
2. Environmental Conditions
Animal rooms were maintained at a temperature o f 18-26C and a relative humidity of 30-70%. Animal rooms were artificially illuminated (fluorescent light) on an approximate 12-hour light/dark cycle. Excursions outside of these ranges were of insufficient magnitude and/or duration to have adversely affected the validity o f the study.
3. Feed and Water
All mice were provided tap water ad libitum. All mice were fed PMI Nutrition International, LLC Certified Rodent LabDiet 5002 ad libitum.
4. Animal Health and Environmental Monitoring Program
As specified in the Haskell Laboratory animal health and environmental monitoring program, the following procedures are performed periodically to ensure that contaminant levels are below those that would be expected to impact the scientific integrity of the study:
Water samples are analyzed for total bacterial counts, and the presence of coliforms, lead, and other contaminants.
Samples from freshly washed cages and cage racks are analyzed to ensure adequate sanitation by the cagewashers.
Certified animal feed is used, guaranteed by the manufacturer to meet specified nutritional requirements and not to exceed stated maximum concentrations of key contaminants, including specified heavy metals, aflatoxin, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and organophosphates. The presence of these contaminants below the maximum concentration stated by the manufacturer would not be expected to impact the integrity of the study.
The animal health and environmental monitoring program is administered by the attending laboratory animal veterinarian. Evaluation of these data did not indicate any conditions that affected the validity o f the study.
E. Pretest Period
Upon arrival at Haskell Laboratory, all mice were housed in quarantine. The mice were:
quarantined for 6 days.
identified temporarily by cage identification.
weighed at least 3 times during quarantine.

observed with respect to weight gain and any gross signs of disease or injury.
The mice were released from quarantine by the laboratory animal veterinarian or designee on the bases o f acceptable body weights and clinical signs o f all mice.
F. Assignment to Groups
Mice, selected on the bases of adequate body weight gain and freedom from any clinical signs of disease or injury, were distributed by computerized, stratified randomization into study groups as designated in the Study Design, so that there were no statistically significant differences among group body weight means. The weight variation o f selected mice did not exceed 20% o f the mean weight.
At grouping, each mouse was assigned an animal number/cage identification number. Dose groups were subdivided into groups A and B, with 10 animals per group. The animal number/cage identification number were tattooed on the tail o f each mouse and included on the cage label.
At study start (test day 0) the mice were approximately 8 weeks of age.
G. Dose Formulation Preparation and Administration
The dosing solutions were prepared in NANOpure water. The formulations were adjusted based on the percentage of APFO in the bulk test substance to achieve the desired concentrations. Dosing formulations were prepared on a daily basis.
To accommodate the schedule of the laboratory, the initiation of dosing for group A mice was started one day prior to group B mice.
Animals were dosed daily at approximately the same time ( 2 hours) by intragastric intubation at a dose volume of 10 mL/kg body weight for at least 28 consecutive days; individual dose volumes were calculated based on the most recently collected body weight data. Control mice were dosed with NANOpure water at a volume o f 10 mL/kg of body weight. The 30/0 mg/kg group (XI) was dosed with 30 mL/kg o f test substance through test day 23. Following injection of SRBC on test day 24, group XI was dosed with NANOpure water at a volume o f 10 mL/kg of body weight until sacrifice.
In light o f marked body weight losses in some of the mice, a decision was made to suspend dosing for a few days with the intention of resuming dosing if the animals were sufficiently recovered. The table below lists the specific mice for which dosing was suspended as well as the test days on which the animals were not dosed. This protocol deviation did not adversely impact the study for several reasons: first, the suspension o f dosing was transient and affected some but not all of the animals dosed at 30 mg/kg/day. Second, the data collected from animals dosed on a daily basis combined with the data from the animals listed below are considered to provide sufficient data to meet the objectives of the current study. Third, if suspension of dosing had not been implemented, unscheduled mortalities may have precluded the collection of immune system data in these animals and, thus, reduced the amount of data available to assess potential immunotoxicity.

H. Dose Formulation Sampling and Analysis
1. Recovery Sample Analysis
Concurrent with dosing formulation analyses, recovery o f APFO from spiked NANOpure water was tested at the low level (approximately 0.03 mg/mL), the middle levels (approximately 0.1 and 1 mg/mL), and the high level (approximately 3 mg/mL) to confirm the analytical method. A stock solution o f APFO was prepared in NANOpure water. For all concentration levels, an appropriate aliquot o f the stock solution was used to make the spiked solution upon further dilution with NANOpure water. These spiked recovery samples were then processed and analyzed in the same manner as the dosing samples at similar concentrations.
2. Dosing Solution Treatment
Each dosing sample (1 mL) was initially diluted with NANOpure water to a nominal concentration o f 0.3, 1,10, and 30 ppm APFO for the 0.03, 0.1, 1, and 3 mg/mL dosing samples, respectively. The samples were further diluted to a final expected concentration of 0.03 ppm with NANOpure water for analysis. The 0 mg/mL sample followed the 0.03 mg/mL sample dilutions. Before the final dilution, the internal standard ( 1 ,2-di-13C PFOA) was added to each sample to give an equivalent final concentration o f the internal standard in all dosing samples; the 0.1, 1, and 3 mg/mL samples were matrix corrected with the initial diluted solution o f the control sample.

4. Calibration and Quantitation
The analytical reference o f APFO (H-22703-376, 100%) was used for quantitation of this study. A stock solution was prepared in NANOpure water. This stock solution was mixed to ensure that all material was dissolved in solution. Before analysis, appropriate aliquots o f the stock solution were diluted with NANOpure water to make calibration standards that bracketed the target concentration o f the diluted dosing samples after matrix correction with the initial diluted solution o f the control sample. Before these aliquots were brought to the final volume, an appropriate amount o f 1, 2-di-13C PFOA internal standard was added to give an equivalent final concentration o f the internal standard in all standard solutions.
The 369 m/z daughter ion of PFOA dissociated from APFO measured by LC/MS/MS was used against the 370 m/z daughter ion of 1, 2-di-l3C PFOA internal standard to determine the concentrations of the dosing samples. Peak area ratios (369 m/z peak versus 370 m/z peak) of these standards were used to construct a calibration curve by least square regression (see Figure 1 for a representative calibration curve). Measured concentrations for dosing solutions were determined by applying the peak area ratios from replicate injections of each sample to the calibration curve.
Concentration verification of APFO in dosing samples was evaluated by the mean result o f the duplicate analyses for each respective dosing level.
Uniformity of mixing o f APFO in dosing samples was evaluated by calculating the coefficient of variation (C.V. = standard deviation/mean x 100) of the measured concentration in the duplicate analyses o f the concentration verification samples. A coefficient o f variation of less than or equal to 10% is the standard criterion at Haskell Laboratory for acceptable distribution of the test substance throughout the solution.

Stability of APFO in dosing samples was evaluated by using the mean result o f the duplicate concentration verification analyses as the baseline for comparing the corresponding stability results.
I. Body Weights
During the test period, all mice were weighed on test days 0, 3 (2 for subgroup B), and daily thereafter.
J. Food Consumption and Food Efficiency
During the test period, the amount of food consumed by each mouse over the weighing interval was determined by weighing each feeder at the beginning and end of the interval and subtracting the final weight and the amount o f spillage from the feeder during the interval from the initial weight. From these measurements, mean daily food consumption over the interval was determined. From the food consumption and body weight data, the mean daily food efficiency of test substance was calculated for each animal.
K. Clinical Observations
1. Daily Animal Flealth Observations
Cage-site examinations to detect moribund or dead mice and abnormal behavior and/or appearance among mice were conducted at least once daily throughout the study. Abnormal behavior/appearance was recorded by exception. Moribund mice were sacrificed, and a gross examination performed. Tissues and blood were not collected from moribund mice.
2. General Clinical Observations
An additional cage-site evaluation was conducted approximately 2 hours after dosing to detect acute clinical signs of systemic toxicity.
3. Detailed Clinical Observations
At every weighing, each mouse was individually handled and examined for abnormal behavior and appearance. Detailed clinical observations in a standardized arena were also evaluated on all mice. The detailed clinical observations included (but were not limited to) evaluation o f fur, skin, eyes, mucous membranes, occurrence of secretions and excretions, autonomic nervous system activity (lacrimation, piloerection, and unusual respiratory pattern), changes in gait, posture, response to handling, presence of clonic, tonic, stereotypical, or bizarre behavior. Any abnormal clinical signs noted were recorded.
L. Clinical Pathology Evaluation
A clinical pathology evaluation was conducted on all surviving animals 29 days after initiation of the study. Animals from each dose group were divided into 2 groups, Group A and Group B with 10 animals in each (e.g., IA, IB, IIIA, IIIB). All animals were fasted for approximately 3 hours prior to the scheduled sacrifice. The fasting schedule was staggered so that the last animal
-19-
p. 20
Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Mice
DuPont-18318
was fasted for approximately the same amount o f time as the first animal. While the animals were under carbon dioxide anesthesia, the maximum amount of whole blood was collected from the abdominal vena cava. Samples were allocated as indicated below:
Group A Hematology: 250 pL whole blood - EDTA Clinical Chemistry: remaining blood in serum tube for: total protein, albumin, globulin (calculated)
Group B Not done Clinical Chemistry: all blood in serum tube for: Cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (calculated)
In addition, for all animals, remaining sera were allocated for either humoral immune measurements or for serum corticosterone based on the optimal use of the serum volume remaining in the tube after the above tests were performed.
Bone marrow smears were prepared at sacrifice from all surviving animals. Bone marrow smears were stained with Wright-Giemsa stain, but analysis was not necessary to support experimental findings. All blood samples were evaluated for quality by visual examination. Results were maintained in the study records and reported only if the sample was analyzed. Unless otherwise indicated, any historical control clinical pathology data referenced in the text is maintained in Haskell Notebook Number E 98560-AN.
1. Hematology (Group A Only)
Complete blood counts, including reticulocytes, were determined on a Bayer Advia 120 hematology analyzer or determined from microscopic evaluation of the blood smear. WrightGiemsa-stained blood smears from all animals were examined microscopically for confirmation of automated results and evaluation of cellular morphology. Blood smears, stained with new methylene blue, were prepared from each animal undergoing a hematology evaluation, but were not needed for examination.
The following parameters were determined:
red blood cell count hemoglobin hematocrit mean corpuscular (cell) volume mean corpuscular (cell) hemoglobin mean corpuscular (cell) hemoglobin concentration
red cell distribution width absolute reticulocyte count platelet count white blood cell count differential white blood cell count microscopic blood smear examination
2. Clinical Chemistry
Routine serum clinical chemistry parameters were determined on an Olympus AU640 clinical chemistry analyzer. Serum corticosterone was measured using a commercial RIA assay (Diagnostic Products Corporation, Los Angeles, CA; Catalog #TKRC1). Corticosterone concentrations were determined according to the manufacturer's recommended procedure

(aspirating aqueous contents of the assay tube rather than decanting). If necessary, the standard curve was extended at the low end of the range by including standards o f 5 and 10 ng/mL.
The following parameters were determined:
cholesterol (group B) triglycerides (group B) total protein (group A) albumin (group A)
globulin (calculated, group A) high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (group B) non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (calculated, group B) serum corticosterone (groups A and B)
M. Humoral Immune Function
On test day 24, animals were injected intravenously in the lateral tail vein with 0.2 mL of 1 x 109 SRBC/mL (Covance, Denver, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.). One mouse (716 in the 10 mg/kg test substance group) was inadvertently not injected with the appropriate amount of SRBC and the immune response for this mouse could not be evaluated. On test day 29, serum was collected from each mouse and frozen (see L.2.Clinical Chemistry). Serum was not collected from 6 mice (117 in the 0 mg/kg test substance group, 306 in the 0.3 mg/kg test substance group, 903, 904, and 906 in the 30 mg/kg test substance group, and 1112 in the 30 mg/kg (recovery) test substance group) due to sacrifice in extremis prior to test day 29 (117, 906 and 1112), insufficient serum sample volume (306 and 904), or no serum sample taken (903); therefore, the immune response for these mice could not be evaluated. Serum volume was insufficient for 3 mice (703 in the 10 mg/kg test substance group, 907 in the 30 mg/kg test substance group, and 1116 in the 30 mg/kg (recovery) test substance group) and the immune response for these mice could not be evaluated.
Humoral immune function was evaluated by examining sera from individual animals for SRBCspecific IgM levels with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).(7) The serum from each animal was assayed as 10 serial, 2-fold dilutions, with 1 replicate per dilution. The optical density (OD) of the contents of the reaction well was measured at the 405 nm wavelength with a MR 5000 Microplate Reader (Dynex Technologies). SRBC-specific serum IgM titer data were analyzed with Revelation Software Version 2.0 (Dynex Technologies). For each serum sample, a semi-log graph of the data was created and the linear portion of the curve was identified by using a log-log curve fit. A slope between -0.600 and -1.200 was obtained. The serum dilution expected to produce an OD o f 0.5 was determined by regression analysis. The "titer" o f each animal was defined as the reciprocal of the serum dilution that had an OD value o f 0.5. If no points had an OD value o f greater than or equal to 0.5, the reciprocal o f the starting dilution closest to an OD value o f 0.5 was used as the titer.
Sera previously collected from rats injected with SRBC and dosed for 5 days with 90 mg/kg of the known immunosuppressive agent cyclophosphamide monohydrate or vehicle were run concurrently with the study samples to demonstrate that the assay functioned properly. For any test samples that needed to be rerun due to a poor curve fit or slope, pooled male and/or female cyclophosphamide monohydrate or vehicle serum samples were concurrently run. The pooled samples consisted of equal aliquots of serum taken from either the male or female rats dosed with cyclophosphamide monohydrate or vehicle.

N. Anatomie Pathology Evaluation
After 29 days on study, the surviving mice from each dose group (0, 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg body weight) were sacrificed and necropsied for evaluation of subchronic toxicity. The order of sacrifice for scheduled deaths was stratified across groups. Mice were fasted for 3 hours before euthanasia.
All mice, including 3 mice (mice 117, 906, and 1112) that were sacrificed in extremis during the study (test days 5, 9, and 5, respectively), were euthanized by carbon dioxide anesthesia and exsanguination. Gross examinations were performed for all mice. Final body weights and organ weights were recorded for all mice sacrificed by design on test day 29.
The following tissues were collected from 120 mice (20/sex/group) on study.
Digestive System liver3
Nervous System brain3,c (3 sections)
Hematopoietic System spleen3 thymus3 popliteal lymph node mesenteric lymph node bone marrowb
Musculoskeletal System femur/knee joint sternum
Other gross observations
a Organs were weighed at necropsy, b Bone marrow was collected with the femur and sternum, c Including cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla/pons.
Organ weight ratios (% final body weight, % brain weight) and group mean values from weighed organs were calculated.
All tissues were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Processed tissues were embedded in paraffin, sectioned approximately 5-6 microns thick, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and examined microscopically by a veterinary pathologist. Microscopic findings were graded on a 4-point scale based on the severity or extent o f the change (grade 1 = minimal; grade 2 = mild; grade 3 = moderate; grade 4 = severe).
For mice sacrificed by design (SD) on test day 29, all tissues collected from control (0 mg/kg) and high-dose (30 and 30/0 mg/kg) mice were processed to slides and examined microscopically. In addition, the following organs were examined from all SD mice in order to determine a no observed-effect level for test substance-related microscopic findings: liver, thymus, spleen, and bone marrow.
For the 3 mice sacrificed in-extremis (SE) before the scheduled sacrifice, all tissues were processed to slides and examined microscopically.
Gross observations (recorded at necropsy) were examined microscopically for all animals.

O. Total Cell Counts
The following procedures were used for preparation of spleen and thymus single-cell suspensions for enumeration of total cell counts from each spleen or thymus:
The weight o f the halved spleen or thymus (tissue) was documented, the half was placed in a labeled 15 mL centrifuge tube containing 3 mL Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS/H) and put on ice.
The halved tissue/HBSS/H was poured into a small petri dish and cut into small pieces. The centrifuge tube was inverted 2 or 3 times and left on ice for approximately 10 minutes to
allow debris to settle to the bottom o f the tube. The supernatant was transferred to a new centrifuge tube and the volume o f the supernatant
was documented. Total cell counts were determined from each tissue by hemacytometer.
P. Electron Microscopy Evaluation
A section o f liver from 2 control mice (103 and 104) and 2 mice in the 1 mg/kg group (503 and 504) mice was placed in cassettes in a container of formalin, and shipped to Experimental Pathology Laboratories, Inc (EPL) for evaluation by transmission electron microscopy. As a subcontractor to EPL, the Laboratory for Advanced Electron and Light Optical Methods, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University processed the tissues for electron microscopy and prepared electron photomicrographic images under the direction of Dr. Michael Dykstra. The printed electron photomicrographic images were provided to EPL for evaluation by an ACVP-certified veterinary pathologist who interpreted the images and prepared a final report o f the electron microscopic evaluation. More details are provided in Appendix M.
Q. Statistical Analyses
For all statistical analyses, significance was judged at p < 0.05. Comparisons were made of the dosed groups to the control group (Group I). Comparisons were also made between Group IX and Group XI.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Analytical Evaluation
A. Chromatography
(Figures 1-2)
PFOA dissociated from APFO and 1, 2-di-13C PFOA eluted together from the F1PLC column with a retention time of approximately 4.5 minutes. The mixture was separated into 2 resolved peaks at 369 m/z and 370 m/z, respectively, by MS/MS detection. Representative LC/MS/MS chromatograms are shown in Figures 2(a - e). Test substance was not detected in the 0 mg/mL samples.
B. Recovery Samples
(Table 1)
Detailed analytical results of recovery samples are summarized in Table 1. The variability o f the analytical method was demonstrated by the coefficients of variation of the recovery results at each targeted dosing concentration (approximately 0.03, 0.1, 1, and 3 mg/mL) over the course of the study. The range o f the measured concentrations of APFO for the 0.03 mg/mL level was 101.7% to 108.3% of nominal (mean percent recovery = 105.0% 5%, C.V. = 5%). The range o f the measured concentrations of APFO for the 0.1 mg/mL level was 104.0% to 109.6% of nominal (mean percent recovery = 106.8% 4%, C.V. = 4%). The range of the measured concentrations o f APFO for the 1 mg/mL level was 102.0% to 105.0% of nominal (mean percent recovery = 103.5 2%, C.V. = 2%). The range o f the measured concentrations o f APFO for the 3 mg/mL level was 101.7% to 107.0% o f nominal (mean percent recovery = 104.4 4%, C.V. = 4%). Based on these data, the analytical method performed satisfactorily for the concentration range o f the dosing samples in the study.

In-Life Measurements
A. Mean Body Weights and Body Weight Cains
(Tables 4-5, Figure 3, Appendices B-C)
Test substance-related and adverse reductions in mean body weights and body weight gains were observed at 10, 30 and 30/0 mg/kg.
Mean final body weights were 14, 22, and 12% lower than the control group at 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. Test substance-related increases in liver weights occurred and minimized the magnitude o f the effects on body weight. In an attempt to quantitatively separate the increased liver weights (see Appendix C) from the decreased body weights, an adjusted body weight (see Appendix C) was calculated for each animal by subtracting the weight of the liver from the final body weight. The means for the adjusted body weights were 28, 35, and 23% lower than controls at 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively.
The reductions in mean body weight at 10 mg/kg and above resulted from overall body weight losses during the study; mice lost an average o f 3.8, 6.6, and 3.3 g during days 0 to 28 at 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively, whereas control group mice gained an average of 0.9 g.
In general, the test substance-related effects on body weight parameters were dose-related relative to the magnitude o f the change and the onset of the reductions; effects on mice dosed at 30 mg/kg were more pronounced and evident sooner than effects at 10 mg/kg.
The effects o f cessation o f dosing were evident in that the mean final body weights of mice at 30/0 mg/kg were 12% higher than those from the mice dosed at 30 mg/kg.
Body weight and weight gain data for animals dosed at 0.3 and 1 mg/kg were generally comparable to controls.
B. Food Consumption and Food Efficiency
(Tables 6-7, Appendix D)
Test substance-related effects on food consumption were evident at 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg. The food consumption data did not adhere to the hypothesis of a monotonic dose response. At 10 mg/kg, the mean food consumption was increased or significantly increased starting at the end o f the first week and persisting until the end o f the study. At 30 and 30/0 mg/kg, mean food consumed was usually lower or significantly lower than controls but for each group there was one interval with significantly increased food consumption. As a result of these somewhat erratic patterns of food consumption, overall food consumption during days 0 to 28 was generally comparable across the groups with the exception of the 10 mg/kg group for which mean food consumption was significantly increased.

C. Clinical Observations and Mortality
(Tables 8-9, Appendices E-F)
Test substance-related clinical signs observed at 1, 10, 30 and 30/0 mg/kg included: pallor, wet and stained fur, swollen penis, eye observations, prostrate, or yellow extremities.
Swollen left shoulder observed in one mouse dosed at 10 mg/kg was possibly due to a dosing incident.
Abnormal gait was observed in single animals dosed at 1 or 10 mg/kg. This observation was not considered test substance related because it was only observed in single animals and short in duration.
Three mice were sacrificed in extremis prior to test day 29. Two mice were sacrificed on test day 5 due to dosing incidents from the control and 30/0 mg/kg groups. One mouse dosed at 30 mg/kg was sacrificed on test day 9 possibly due to a dosing incident, however, gross and microscopic pathology were unable to determine the exact cause of death
Clinical Pathology Evaluation
A. Hematology
(Table 10, Appendix G)
1. Red Blood Cells
Red cell mass parameters (red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit) were minimally decreased in mice dosed with 30 mg/kg for 29 days. Mean values were 88-94% o f the control group means (not statistically significant). In addition, mean cell hemoglobin and mean cell hemoglobin concentration were decreased in mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days. Means at 10 and 30 mg/kg were 94-96% and 95-97% of the respective control group means for these 2 parameters (variable statistical significance).
Some mice dosed with 1 or 10 mg/kg for 29 days had minimally lower reticulocyte counts compared to those dosed with 0 or 0.3 mg/kg. Mice dosed with 30 mg/kg either had higher (3/7) or lower (4/7) reticulocyte counts compared to control mice. Two of the 3 mice at 30 mg/kg with higher reticulocyte counts also had increased splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis. On an individual animal basis, there was no correlation between red cell mass and reticulocyte counts in this group.
Effects on red cell mass were more pronounced (mildly decreased) in mice dosed with 30/0 mg/kg compared to those dosed with 30 mg/kg for the entire 29 days. At recovery, mean red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit ranged from 82-86% of the respective control group means for these 3 parameters (all statistically significant). Decreased red cell mass parameters following recovery could be due to one or more o f the following processes: increased red cell destruction, red cell loss, or increased plasma volume. The mechanism for
-28-

decreased red cell mass parameters was not evident from in-life, clinical pathology, or anatomic pathology data. Therefore, the cause of the decreased red cell mass was not determined.
Reticulocytes were mildly increased in mice dosed with 30/0 mg/kg. Mean reticulocyte count was 148% of the control group mean (not statistically significant). Consistent with the increase in reticulocyte counts, red cell distribution width was increased (mean was 109% o f the control group mean; not statistically significant), and mean cell hemoglobin concentration was decreased (97% of control group mean; statistically significant). Microscopically, this group had increased polychromasia (increased bluish staining o f red blood cells), a characteristic finding in blood with increased reticulocyte counts. The increases in reticulocytes and related parameters were considered to be in response to the decreased red cell mass described above. These changes also correlated with histologic evidence of increased splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis, which was observed in 15 o f 19 mice in the 30/0 mg/kg group.
2. White Blood Cells
Neutrophils were increased in mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg. Means were 236 and 296% of the control group mean, respectively (statistically significant). While all neutrophil counts for mice dosed with <1 mg/kg were between 0.00 and 2.00x103/pL, mice dosed with 10 mg/kg had neutrophil counts between 1.00 and 3.00x103/pL, while 2 o f 7 mice dosed with 30 mg/kg had neutrophil counts o f greater than 3.50xl03/pL (animal 901 and 904). Histologically, 2 o f 3 mice (mice 902 and 904) dosed with 30 mg/kg had minimal granulocytic hyperplasia of the bone marrow, corresponding to the observation o f increased neutrophils in the peripheral blood o f this group. The two 30 mg/kg mice with the highest neutrophil counts (901 and 904) also had higher lymphocyte and monocyte counts than other mice in this group, although the lymphocyte counts were similar to or lower than control values. Increased neutrophils may be due to stress (glucocorticoid-related; see corticosterone discussion below and anatomic pathology) or inflammation. The changes in neutrophils, in light of changes in other leukocyte types, are likely related to both o f these processes.
Lymphocytes were generally decreased in mice dosed with 30 mg/kg (mean was 59% of the control group mean; not statistically significant). One mouse (animal 901) had increased neutrophil and unchanged lymphocyte counts compared to control mice. The decreases in lymphocyte counts in most mice dosed with 30 mg/kg were consistent with stress (see corticosterone discussion below and histology), and corresponded to increased serum corticosterone and lymphoid depletion/atrophy in the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes in 30 mg/kg mice. The unchanged lymphocyte count in 1 mouse dosed with 30 mg/kg may have been due to a combination o f stress and inflammation.
Monocytes were increased in mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg. Means were 285 and 254% of the control group mean, respectively (variable statistical significance). In these 2 groups of mice, individual mice with increased monocytes tended to have increased neutrophil counts. Increased monocytes are observed with inflammation or stress. As discussed above, the combination of changes likely reflect both stress and inflammation.
Eosinophils were decreased in mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg. Means were 57 and 64% o f the control group mean, respectively (not statistically significant). A decrease in peripheral blood
p. 30
Ammonium Pcrfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Mice
DuPont-18318
eosinophils is consistently observed in response to stress. Therefore, this change was considered to be due to stress.
Large unstained cells (LUC) were increased in mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg. LUCs are cells that cannot be identified as one o f the 5 major leukocyte types by the Advia 120 automated hematology analyzer, and normally comprise a small percentage of the total leukocyte population. The LUC count normally includes mostly lymphocytes and monocytes. In this study, the mice with the highest LUC counts usually had the highest lymphocyte and/or monocyte counts. Therefore, in this study, changes in LUC counts paralleled changes in lymphocytes and/or monocytes.
In the 30/0 mg/kg group, neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, monocyte, and LUC counts were generally similar to those o f mice dosed at 30 mg/kg for the full 29 days (variable statistical significance compared to controls; lymphocyte counts statistically different from that of mice dosed with 30 mg/kg for 29 days). Therefore, there was little or no recovery for changes in differential white blood cell counts.
The following statistically significant changes in mean hematology parameters were considered to be unrelated to treatment and non-adverse because they did not occur in a dose-related pattern:
Decreased mean cell hemoglobin concentration in mice dosed with 10 mg/kg for 29 days
Decreased red cell distribution width in mice dosed with 0.3 or 10 mg/kg for 29 days
Increased total white blood cell count in mice dosed with 10 mg/kg for 29 days
B. Clinical Chemistry
(Table 11, Appendix G)
Icterus was evident in serum of mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days. The incidences of icteric serum were 0/19, 0/19, 0/20, 16/20, and 17/17 in mice dosed with 0, 0.3, 1, 10, or 30 mg/kg for 29 days. Icterus is graded as none, trace, small, moderate, or large and in this study, grades o f trace, small and moderate were observed. The icterus grades were generally higher at 30 than at 10 mg/kg. Icterus is an indication of increased serum bilirubin and may result from either increased production of bilirubin from hemoglobin as a result o f increased red blood cell destruction or decreased processing and excretion o f bilirubin. There was no clinical or anatomic pathology evidence o f increased red cell destruction in mice dosed for 29 days. Histologically, minimal to mild hyperplasia o f the bile ducts were observed in mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg, which, along with other hepatic changes, may have contributed to the presence o f icterus. In mice dosed in the 30/0 mg/kg group, the incidence and grades of icterus were lower than after 29 days o f treatment (trace to small icterus observed in 16/19 mice). Therefore, there was partial recovery from the finding of icteric serum.
Total cholesterol was moderately decreased in mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days. Means were 69 and 51% o f the control group means (statistically significant). The decrease in cholesterol was due to decreases in HDL cholesterol at doses o f 1, 10 and 30 mg/kg (means were 71,61, and 44% of the control group mean, respectively, and were statistically significant), and

in non-HDL cholesterol at doses o f 10 and 30 mg/kg (means were 85 and 65% o f the control group mean, respectively; not statistically significant). Mean total and HDL cholesterol in the 30/0 mg/kg group were 80% and 69% of the control group mean (variable statistical significance compared to control but statistically different from mice dosed with 30 mg/kg for 29 days). Therefore, there was partial recovery of total and HDL cholesterol, and complete recovery for non-HDL cholesterol in mice dosed with 30/0 mg/kg.
Triglycerides were moderately decreased in mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days. Means were 47 and 32% of the control group mean, respectively (statistically significant). There was partial recovery o f triglycerides, as the mean value in mice in the 30/0 mg/kg group was 57% of the control group mean (statistically different from control mice and mice dosed with 30 mg/kg for 29 days).
Albumin was moderately increased in mice dosed with 1, 10, or 30 mg/kg for 29 days (means were 110, 145, and 131% o f the control group mean, respectively; variable statistical significance). Although albumin data were limited to 3 values at 30 mg/kg for 29 days, albumin concentrations for these 3 mice were greater than those of mice dosed with 0.3 or 1 mg/kg, suggesting a treatment-related increase. Increased albumin may result from dehydration (relative increase) or increased synthesis or decreased catabolism (absolute increase). There were no in life or clinical pathology data to support dehydration; however, urine concentration, an important sign o f dehydration, was not evaluated in this study. Some peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists have been reported to cause increases in serum albumin concentration due to increased synthesis of albumin. Due to the lack of corroborative data, the cause of increased albumin in this study cannot be determined. In the 30/0 mg/kg group, albumin concentrations were similar to those o f mice dosed for 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days and were increased compared to those of control mice. Therefore, there was no recovery in albumin concentrations.
Globulin concentrations were increased in the 30/0 mg/kg group compared to those of control mice and mice dosed with 30 mg/kg for 29 days (both statistically significant; mean was 119% of the control mean), suggesting a test substance-related effect.
Total protein measurements include albumin and globulin, so changes in total protein are a function o f changes in these 2 components. Total protein concentration was increased at 10 mg/kg (due to increases in albumin) and similar to control values at 30 mg/kg (due to increases in albumin and decreases in globulin). Means for these 2 groups were 125 and 109% of the control group mean, respectively (variable statistical significance). In the 30/0 mg/kg group, total protein was 134% o f the control group mean (due to increases in both albumin and globulin).
Serum corticosterone was moderately increased in several mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg for 29 days (variable statistical significance). While serum corticosterone concentrations were between 0 and 400 ng/mL in all mice dosed with <1 mg/kg, concentrations greater than 400 ng/mL were observed in 7/10 and 6/10 mice dosed with 10 or 30 mg/kg, respectively, resulting in mean concentrations that were 229 and 231 % o f the control group mean for mice for these 2 groups. In the 30/0 mg/kg group, mouse serum corticosterone concentrations were still mildly increased (6/10 were greater than 400 ng/mL, and the mean was 137% o f the control

group mean; not statistically significant). These changes are consistent with partial recovery from stress.
C. Clinical Pathology Conclusions
Mice dosed with >1 mg/kg had decreased serum HDL cholesterol, increased serum albumin, and variable changes in serum globulin. Mice dosed with >10 mg/kg had increased neutrophils and monocytes, decreased eosinophils, icteric serum, decreased serum total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and increased serum corticosterone. Mice dosed with 30 mg/kg also had decreased red cell mass parameters (red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit), increased reticulocytes, and decreased lymphocytes. The only parameter with complete recovery in the 30/0 mg/kg group was non-HDL cholesterol. Partial recovery was observed for icteric serum, total and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and serum corticosterone.
Immunotoxicity
A. Humoral Immune Function
(Tables 12-13, Appendices H-l)
There was test substance-related evidence o f immunosuppression in mice at 10, 30 and 30/0 mg/kg. The anti-SRBC titers for these groups were reduced 20, 28 and 30% when compared to the control group mean.
There was no difference in mean primary humoral immune response between the 30 and 30/0 mg/kg, indicating that the shortened dosing period did not have an impact on this endpoint.
In contrast, mice injected for 5 days with 90 mg/kg of the immunosuppressive material, cyclophosphamide, demonstrated a 52% inhibition o f the IgM antibody response to SRBC.
Anatomic Pathology Evaluation
A. Cause of Death
There were no test substance-related deaths. Only 3 of the 120 mice on study did not survive until the scheduled sacrifice on day 29. The 3 mice were sacrificed in extremis on test days 5 and 9.
Mouse 117 (control) and mouse 1112 (30/0 mg/kg) were sacrificed on test day 5 due to dosing incidents. Both mice had ruptured esophagi identified on gross examination. Mouse 906 (30 mg/kg) was sacrificed on test day 9 because the mouse was clinically lethargic and pale. Gross and microscopic pathology did not reveal a cause of death. It is likely that this death was also due to a dosing incident. However, since the esophagus, lungs, and mediastinal tissue were not saved for microscopic examination, the cause of death was undetermined.

B. Final Body and Organ Weight Data
(Table 14, Appendix J)
Following 28 days of daily gavage administration of the test substance, test substance-related organ weight effects were observed in the liver, spleen, and thymus. Relative to controls, mean liver weight parameters were increased at >0.3 mg/kg, mean spleen weight parameters were decreased >1 mg/kg, and mean thymus weight parameters were decreased at >10 mg/kg.

1. Final Body Weight
Mean final body weights were decreased 14%, 21%, and 8% in the 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg dose groups, respectively, as compared to the control value. All decreases were statistically significant. Mean final body weights in the 0.3 and 1 mg/kg dose groups were similar to the control values.
There was also a statistically significant increase in the mean final body weight o f the 30/0 mg/kg dose group, as compared to the 30 mg/kg dose group. This increase demonstrates partial recovery from the test substance-related final body weight decrease in the 6 recovery days following the injection o f sheep red blood cells.

2. Liver
Mean absolute liver weights were increased 35%, 84%, 240%, 231%, and 259% in the 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg dose groups, respectively, as compared to the control value. Mean relative (% body weight) liver weights were similarly increased (33%, 79%, 292%, 317%, and 291%, respectively). All increases were statistically significant, except for those in the 0.3 mg/kg dose group.
The increased liver weights, at all dose levels, correlated with the microscopic finding o f mild to severe hepatocellular hypertrophy. It also correlated with the gross observation o f large livers at doses >10 mg/kg.
3. Spleen
Mean absolute spleen weights were decreased 11%, 44%, 56%, and 35% in the 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg dose groups, respectively, as compared to the control value. Mean relative (% body weight) spleen weights were similarly decreased (14%, 35%, 45%, and 30%, respectively). All decreases were statistically significant, except for the increase in the mean absolute spleen weight in the 1 mg/kg dose group. Mean spleen weight parameters in the 0.3 mg/kg dose group were similar to the control values.
The decreased spleen weights, at >1 mg/kg, correlated with the microscopic finding of minimal to mild lymphoid depletion/atrophy in this organ. It also correlated with the gross observation of small spleens at doses >10 mg/kg.
4. Thymus
Mean absolute thymus weights were decreased 50%, 50%, and 46% in the 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg dose groups, respectively, as compared to the control value. Mean relative (% body weight) thymus weights were similarly decreased (43%, 39%, and 42%, respectively). All decreases were statistically significant. Mean thymus weight parameters in the 0.3 and 1 mg/kg dose groups were similar to the control values.
The decreased thymus weights, at >10 mg/kg, correlated with the microscopic finding of minimal to severe lymphoid depletion/atrophy in this organ. It also correlated with the gross observation of small thymuses at doses >10 mg/kg.
5. Other
All other individual and mean organ weight differences were considered to be spurious or secondary to the decrease in final body weights. Mean absolute brain weights were decreased, while mean relative brain weights (% body weight) were increased only at doses (>10 mg/kg) that produced significantly decreased body weights. The lack of any gross or microscopic effects on the brain also suggests that the brain weight differences were a function of body weight and not indicative of a test substance-relate brain weight effect.

C. Gross Observations
(Table 15 Appendix K)
At the terminal sacrifice, test substance-relate gross observations were observed at doses >10 mg/kg and included large and discolored livers, small spleens, and small thymuses.

Underlined values were interpreted to be test-substance related increases, as compared to control values. * Not dosed with test substance following immunology challenge. ** Table excludes 3 mice that were euthanized on days 5 (mice #s 117 and 1112) and 9 (mouse #906).
The observation o f large livers in mice given >10 mg/kg correlated with the microscopic finding o f severe hepatocellular hypertrophy in all mice at these dosages and greater than 200% increases in mean absolute liver weights, as compared to controls. Gross liver discoloration is also consistent with microscopic hepatocellular hypertrophy.
Small spleens, which were observed in almost half o f the spleens from mice given 10 (8/20) and 30 (8/19) mg/kg of the test substance, correlated with decreased mean spleen weights at these same dose levels. Fewer small spleens (2/19) were observed in the recovery group (30/0 mg/kg), which was consistent with the partial recovery o f spleen weights in this dose group. Test substance-related microscopic lymphoid depletion was observed only at 30 mg/kg.
Small thymuses were recorded in only a few thymuses at dose levels >10 mg/kg. These correlated with decreased mean thymus weights and microscopic lymphoid depletion at the same dose levels.
D. Microscopic Findings
(Table 16, Appendix K)
Microscopic examination of the liver demonstrated mild hepatocellular hypertrophy at 0.3 mg/kg; moderate to severe hepatocellular hypertrophy with secondary individual cell necrosis and focal necrosis at doses >1 mg/kg; and increased hepatocellular mitotic figures, hepatocellular fatty change, and bile duct hyperplasia at doses >10 mg/kg

Microscopic examination o f lymphohematopoietic organs (spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes) revealed increased granulocytic hematopoiesis in the bone marrow (>10 mg/kg) and increased erythrocytic hematopoiesis in the bone marrow and spleen (30/0 mg/kg). Test substance-related lymphoid depletion/atrophy was present in the thymus (>10 mg/kg) and spleen (30 mg/kg) of less than half o f the mice at the respective dose levels. Mesenteric and popliteal lymph nodes had no test substance-related effects.

1. Liver
a. Hepatocellular Hypertrophy
Panlobular hepatocellular hypertrophy was observed in all surviving mice given the test substance and the severity was dose related. Hypertrophy was present in 0/19, 20/20, 20/20, 20/20, 19/19, and 19/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. The hypertrophy was graded as mild in all mice given 0.3 mg/kg, moderate in all mice given 1 mg/kg; and severe in all mice given >10 mg/kg.
-36-
1 (3
Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Mice
DuPont-18318
The hepatocellular hypertrophy was characterized by an increase in the size o f all hepatocytes due to an increase in cytoplasmic volume. The cytoplasm had a uniformly eosinophilic granular appearance consistent with peroxisome proliferation. At doses >1 mg/kg, the severity (moderate to severe) of the hepatocellular hypertrophy appeared to be responsible for increased individual cell necrosis and focal necrosis. At doses >10 mg/kg, the severity (severe) o f the hepatocellular hypertrophy was associated with nonzonal fatty change and hepatocellular regeneration (increased mitotic figures).
Hepatocellular hypertrophy correlated with increased mean liver weight parameters at all doses and grossly large livers at doses >10 mg/kg.
b. Individual Cell Necrosis
Individual cell necrosis was observed in mice given >1 mg/kg o f the test substance; the incidence and severity were dose related. Individual cell necrosis was present in 0/19, 0/20, 11/20, 20/20, 19/19, and 19/19 in mice given 0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively, and was graded minimal to mild. A slight decrease in severity was apparent in the 30/0 mg/kg group as compared to the 30 mg/kg group.
The individual cell necrosis was primarily due to the degeneration, necrosis, and lysis of enlarged hepatocytes in an individualized, non-zonal pattern. Although apoptotic cells were observed in most sections, the increased individual cell necrosis was usually not due to apoptosis. A slight secondary focal inflammatory cell inflitrate was often observed in association with necrotic hepatocytes.
c. Focal Necrosis
Test substance-related focal necrosis was also observed in mice given >1 mg/kg of the test substance. The incidence and severity were both mildly dose related. Focal necrosis was present in 0/19, 1/20, 3/20, 4/20, 7/19, and 3/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively, and was graded minimal to moderate. The single incidence of minimal focal necrosis in a 0.3 mg/kg mouse was considered incidental since this is sometimes a naturally occurring background lesion. A slight decrease in the incidence o f focal necrosis was apparent in the 30/0 mg/kg group, as compared to the 30 mg/kg group.
Focal necrosis was characterized by the focal or multifocal coagulative necrosis o f a cluster of hepatocytes. The distribution was usually subcapsular and the pattern was non-zonal. Focal coagulative necrosis of hepatocyte clusters is a common secondary effect o f hepatocellular hypertrophy and is most likely the result o f secondary focal ischem ia/l6)
d. Increased Mitotic Figures
Increased mitotic figures were observed in mice given >10 mg/kg o f the test substance; the incidence was dose related. Increased mitotic figures were present in 0/19, 0/20, 0/20, 10/20, 15/19, and 19/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively, and was graded minimal to mild. A slight increase in the incidence and severity was apparent in the 30/0 mg/kg group, as compared to the 30 mg/kg group.
2/
p. 38
Ammonium Perfluorooctanoate: 28-Day Immunotoxicity Study in Male Mice
DuPont-18318
Increased mitotic figures were an apparent indication o f increased cell turnover in those mice with severe hepatocellular hypertrophy and subsequent individual cell necrosis.
e. Bile Duct Hyperplasia
Bile duct hyperplasia was observed in mice given >10 mg/kg and the incidence and severity were both dose related. Bile duct hyperplasia was observed in 0/19, 0/20, 0/20, 6/20, 17/19, and 12/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. The hyperplasia was graded as minimal in all mice except for three 30 mg/kg mice which were graded as mild. A slight decrease in the incidence o f bile duct hyperplasia was apparent in the 30/0 mg/kg group, as compared to the 30 mg/kg group.
The bile duct hyperplasia was characterized by a minimal to mild increase in the number of profiles of normal bile ducts.
f. Fatty Change, Nonzonal
Nonzonal fatty change was also present in mice given >10 mg/kg. The incidence was dose related but all lesions were graded as minimal. Fatty change was observed in 0/19, 0/20, 0/20, 9/20, 14/19, and 4/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. A decrease in the incidence of fatty change was apparent in the 30/0 mg/kg group, as compared to the 30 mg/kg group.
The fatty change was characterized by a minimal increase in the number of hepatocytes with small to medium size cytoplasmic fatty globules. The distribution of the affected hepatocytes was nonzonal as the fatty change was scattered throughout the liver. The fatty change was only observed in livers with severe diffuse hepatocellular hypertrophy and was considered to be a degenerative change secondary to the hypertrophy.
2. Thymus
a. Lymphoid Depletion/Atrophy
Minimal to severe thymic lymphoid depletion/atrophy was only observed in mice given >10 mg/kg. The lesion was present in 0/19, 0/20, 0/19, 6/19, 7/17, and 4/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. In addition, thymic tissue was not present in the mediastinal tissue section o f 9 other mice (given >10 mg/kg), suggesting that these animals also had moderate to severe thymic lymphoid depletion. Therefore, the combined incidence of lymphoid depletion and absent thymic tissue was 0/19, 0/20, 0/19, 8/19, 12/17, and 6/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. Both the incidence and severity were dose related. A slight decrease in the incidence and severity of thymic lymphoid depletion/atrophy was apparent in the 30/0 mg/kg group, as compared to the 30 mg/kg group.
Thymic lymphoid depletion/atrophy was characterized by decrease in the number of lymphocytes in the thymus in the absence of necrotic cells. As stated earlier, the absence of thymic tissue in the mediastinal tissue section was also interpreted to be indicative o f thymic depletion/atrophy.

3. Spleen
a. Lymphoid Depletion/Atrophy
Minimal to mild splenic lymphoid depletion/atrophy was test substance related only at 30 mg/kg. The lesion was present in 0/19, 1/20, 0/20, 0/20, 8/19, and 7/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. The incidence and severity o f this effect was similar in the 30 and 30/0 mg/kg groups.
As with the thymic lesion, splenic lymphoid depletion/atrophy was characterized by a decrease in the number of lymphocytes in the thymus in the absence of necrotic cells.
b. Increased Extramedullary Hematopoiesis
An increase in the incidence o f splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) was considered test substance related only in high-dose mice allowed a recovery period (30/0 mg/kg dose group). Minimal to moderate increased EMH was observed in 6/19, 4/20, 1/20, 3/20, 5/19, and 15/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1,10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively.
The increased splenic EMH was erythrocytic and correlated with both the bone marrow erythrocytic hyperplasia and the hematological finding of decreased red cell mass parameters and increased circulating reticulocytes (see Clinical Pathology) that were also observed only in the 30/0 mg/kg recovery mice.
4. Bone Marrow
a. Granulocytic Hyperplasia
A minimal to moderate increase in bone marrow granulocytic hyperplasia was observed in 0/19, 0/20, 0/20, 3/20, 4/19, and 3/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively. The incidence and severity were not dose related in groups given >10 mg/kg o f the test substance.
The increase in bone marrow granulocytic hyperplasia (>10 mg/kg) correlated with increases in the peripheral white blood cell and neutrophil counts (see Clinical Pathology). The granulocytic response was most likely secondary to the hepatocellular individual cell necrosis and focal necrosis observed in mice given >1 mg/kg o f the test substance.
b. Erythrocytic Hyperplasia
A mild increase in bone marrow erythrocytic hyperplasia was observed only in high-dose mice allowed a recovery period (30/0 mg/kg dose group). Erythrocytic hyperplasia was observed in 0/19, 0/20, 0/20, 0/20, 0/19, and 3/19 mice given 0, 0.3, 1, 10, 30, and 30/0 mg/kg, respectively.
As discussed for the spleen, the increase in bone marrow erythrocytic hyperplasia in recovery mice correlated with both microscopic splenic EMH and hematology findings (decreased red cell mass parameters and increased circulating reticulocytes (see Clinical Pathology)).

5. Other
All other microscopic observations in this study were consistent with normal background lesions in mice o f this age and strain.
E. Ultrastructural Findings
1. Electron Microscopy Evaluation
(Appendix M)
At the 1 mg/kg dose of APFO (linear), an increase in peroxisomes was not observed. However, many organelles could not be clearly identified due to poor ultrastructural detail, which was likely the result of formalin fixation. Therefore, definitive conclusions on perosimal numbers in treated groups relative to controls could not be drawn. More details are provided in Appendix M.
F. Anatomic Pathology Conclusions
There were no test substance-related deaths. Only 3 o f the 120 mice on study did not survive until the scheduled sacrifice on day 29. The 3 mice were sacrificed in extremis on test days 5 and 9.
Following 28-days of daily gavage administration of the test substance, test substance-related organ weight effects were observed in the liver, spleen, and thymus. Mean liver weight parameters were increased, mean spleen weight parameters were decreased, and mean thymus weight parameters were decreased.
At the terminal sacrifice, test substance-relate gross observations were observed at doses >10 mg/kg and included large and discolored livers, small spleens, and small thymuses.
Microscopic examination of the liver demonstrated mild hepatocellular hypertrophy at 0.3 mg/kg; moderate to severe hepatocellular hypertrophy with secondary individual cell necrosis and focal necrosis at doses >1 mg/kg; and increased hepatocellular mitotic figures, hepatocellular fatty change, and bile duct hyperplasia at doses >10 mg/kg
Microscopic examination of lymphohematopoietic organs (spleen, thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes) revealed increased granulocytic hematopoiesis in the bone marrow (>10 mg/kg) and increased erythrocytic hematopoiesis in the bone marrow and spleen (30/0 mg/kg). Test substance-related lymphoid depletion/atrophy was present in the thymus (>10 mg/kg) and spleen (30 mg/kg) o f less than half o f the mice at the respective dose levels. Mesenteric and popliteal lymph nodes had no test substance-related effects.

Total Cell Counts
A. Spleen Cell Number
(Table 17, Appendix L)
No significant changes in total spleen cell number were noted in animals dosed with 0.3 or 1 mg/kg. Significant decreases were noted in animals dosed with 10 mg/kg or greater, with the greatest suppression compared to vehicle-treated controls observed at 30 mg/kg (63% suppression). In the 30/0 mg/kg group, a rebound was seen (44% suppression), but this increase in cells compared to the 30 mg/kg was most likely due to the extramedullary hematopoiesis observed in 15 o f 19 mice in this treatment group.
B. Thymus Cell Number
(Table 17, Appendix L)
No significant changes in total thymus cell number were noted in animals dosed with 0.3 or 1 mg/kg. Significant decreases were noted in animals dosed with 10 mg/kg or greater, with the greatest suppression observed at 30 mg/kg (82% suppression). In the 30/0 mg/kg group, a rebound was seen (51% suppression).
CONCLUSIONS
Under the conditions o f this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for APFO for systemic toxicity in male mice was 0.3 mg/kg and for immunosuppression was 1 mg/kg.

INDIVIDUAL ANIMAL PATHOLOGY DATA
KEY TO APPENDIX
LESION GRADING:
Histopathology changes are described according to their morphologic character, distribution and severity. The distribution (extent of tissue involvement) is indicated, where appropriate, by modifiers such as focal, multifocal, diffuse, unilateral, bilateral, etc. A severity score, if appropriate, is also assigned as follows:
MINIMAL:
The amount of change present barely exceeds that which is considered to be within normal limits.
MILD:
In general, the lesion is easily identified but of limited severity. The lesion probably does not produce any functional impairment.
MODERATE:
The lesion is prominent but there is significant potential for increased severity. Limited tissue or organ dysfunction is possible.
SEVERE :
The degree of change is either as complete as considered possible or great enough in intensity or extent to expect significant tissue or organ dysfunction.
COMMENT:
Grades minimal through severe represent progressive involvement/severity along a continuum with minimal lesions being the least severe and severe lesions being the most severe. While the grades refer to the morphologic characteristics of lesions, they also indicate their relative biologic significance.
Gross observations listing multiple masses for a tissue are distinguished with letters (i.e., a, b, c, d, e t c .).

AMMONIUM PERFLUOROOCTANOATE: 28-DAY IMMUNOTOXICITY STUDY IN MALE MICE
ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
PATHOLOGY SUMMARY
The in-life phase of this study was conducted at Haskell Laboratory for Health and Environmental Sciences, E.l. duPont de Nemours and Company, Newark, Delaware. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential of ammonium perfluorooctanoate to suppress the primary humoral immune response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) when administered by oral gavage to male mice for at least 28 days. The table below summarizes the experimental design;

Electron microscopic evaluation of samples of liver from designated animals was added to clarify light microscopic histopathological findings in the liver. Samples of liver from two male mice in Group I (Control) and two male mice in Group V (1mg/kg) that were fixed in formalin were submitted for transmission electron microscopy. The samples that were processed and evaluated are listed in the following table:

Samples, cut into small cubes, were preserved in formalin and shipped to Experimental Pathology Laboratories, Inc (EPL), Research Triangle Park, NC. The samples were transferred to the Laboratory for Advanced Electron and Light Optical Methods (LAELOM) at the College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC for further processing and examination by transmission electron microscopy.
The samples were washed in buffer, post-fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide in the phosphate buffer, dehydrated in an ethanolic series culminating in acetone, and infiltrated with Spunepoxide resin. The resulting blocks were trimmed and semithin sections (approximately 0.5 pm thick) were cut, mounted on glass slides, and stained with 1% toluidine blue O in 1% sodium borate prior to being examined with a light microscope. The slides of semithin sections were sent to Experimental Pathology Laboratories for evaluation by the Pathologist, Dr. Henry Wall. When the slides were returned to the LAELOM, areas of interest for ultrathin sectioning were trimmed in the corresponding tissue blocks.
Ultrathin (80-90 nm thick) sections were cut from the selected trimmed blocks and placed on 200 mesh copper grids before being stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. For each sample, two survey photographs (final print magnification 5,600x) were taken. One higher magnification (final print magnification 22,400x) was taken of each sample to show more cellular detail.

DuPont-18318
TEM #G06-403 (Animal 103, Control, Liver, TEM Neg # 06-1906 to 06-1908) Two low magnification images (06-1906 and 06-1907; 5.600X) show portions of adjacent
hepatocytes as the primary cell type in the image. Electron-dense areas that are predominantly mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum are separated by intervening areas that contain clustered electron-dense granules against an electron-lucent background. The electron-dense granules are glycogen depositis. A few fat vacuoles that appear as partially electron-lucent smooth contoured vaucuoles, are scattered in the cytoplasm of a few hepatocytes. The higher magnification image (06-1908; 22.400X) shows greater detail of mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, glycogen deposits, and a few membranous cytoplasmic profiles.
TEM #G06-404 (Animal 104, Control, Liver, TEM Neg # 06-1909 to 06-1911) The low magnification images (06-1909 and 06-1910; 5.600X) show similar adjacent
hepatocytes with electron-dense areas that are primarily mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum and lighter (less electron-dense) areas with electron-dense granularity. The high magnification image (06-1911; 22.400X) shows the electron-dense granularity to be glycogen deposits. This image also shows greater detail of the mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum that are relatively electron-dense as compared to the glycogen filled areas. All images also show a few smooth contoured lipid vacuoles within hepatocytic cytoplasm. Two deeply electron-dense membrane-bound bodies in the lower right quadrant are considered lysosomes. The core of these bodies have uniform electron-dense granularity compared to the prominent foldings of the cristae in mitochondria.
TEM #G06-405 (Animal 503, Group V/1mg/kg, Liver, TEM Neg # 06-1912 to 06-1914) Both low magnification images (06-1912 and 06-1913; 5.600X) contain adjacent
hepatocytes that have numerous mitochondria rather uniformly distributed in the cytoplasm. Pale granular areas surrounding mitochondria contain glycogen deposits. The glycogen deposits are best detailed in the portion of a hepatocyte in the lower portion of image 06-1913. The higher magnification image (06-1914; 22.400X) shows more detail of mitochondria, lipid vacuoles, glycogen and endoplasmic reticulum. No peroxisomes are clearly defined in the hepatocyte images from this animal.

DuPont-18318 TEM #G06-406 (Animal 504, Group V/1mg/kg, Liver, TEM Neg # 06-1915 to 06-1917)
Electron-dense areas that are primarily mitochondria are the predominant feature other than the nucleus in the low magnification images (06-1915 and 06-1916; 5.600X). The paler and granular background is glycogen. A few small smooth-contoured lipid vacuoles are also scattered in a few hepatocytes. The high magnification image (06-1917; 22.400X) shows the detail of mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and part of a nucleus. A few lipid vacuoles are also present. No structures that can be clearly defined as peroxisomes are noted.
CONCLUSIONS
At the 1 mg/kg dose of ammonium pefluorooctanoate an increase in peroxisomes was not observed. However, many organelles could not be clearly identified due to poor ultrastructural detail, which was likely the result of formalin fixation. Therefore, definitive conclusions on peroxisomal numbers in treated groups relative to controls could not be drawn.
