This study provides a comparative evaluation among three independent laboratories of the responses to 16 chemicals in the retrovirus (Rauscher leukemia) infected Fischer rat embryo (RIFRE) cell‐survival‐in‐aggregation assay. When suspended in liquid media above an agar base, control cells showed a rapid decline in cell survival, whereas cells that had previously been treated with chemical carcinogen survive in suspension longer than control cells. The endpoint, survival in aggregation, is measured by counting viable cells dissociated from aggregates in suspension for 4 days. By modifying previously reported procedures, we have improved the system so that a clear differential (positive or negative) response is achieved by cells treated with either a known carcinogen or known noncarcinogen. Using procedures designed to minimize assay variability, replicate assays were performed and the data analyzed for inter‐ and intralaboratory concordance. The RIFRE cell‐survival‐in‐aggregation assay demonstrated a high degree of interlaboratory reproducibility in assessing the overall positive or negative responses of known carcinogens and noncarcinogens, and good qualitative reproducibility in assessing compounds tested under code. The assay could discriminate between known carcinogens and noncarcinogens. All chemicals were tested without the addition of a metabolic activation system. Cells exhibiting carcinogen‐induced enhancement of survival in aggregation, when plated back onto a solid substrate and carried in culture, subsequently expressed transformation‐associated changes in their cellular morphology, growth in semisolid media, and tumorigenicity in nude mice. These results indicate that retrovirus‐infected Fischer rat embryo cells detect a carcinogen‐mediated early event that progresses to neoplastic phenotypes. Survival in aggregation appears to require the presence of the exogenous retrovirus, since uninfected cells did not show a differential survival response when carcinogen‐treated, noncarcinogen‐treated, or control cells were compared. This system provides a reproducible method of detecting carcinogenic chemicals based on their ability to induce enhanced survival in aggregation of treated cells.
