ABSTRACT – Cell Transformation Assays (CTAs) are in-vitro tests of carcinogenicity where a minimum of 10 Petri dishes are treated with the same dose of a substance and 5 or more doses are considered in the same experiment. The number of fully transformed foci grown on each dish is the outcome collected after 5 weeks from treatment [1]. A Bayesian structural causal model for CTAs is proposed and exploited to estimate mediated effects of a known carcinogen on the outcome. Null estimates of direct effects at several doses suggest that some features of CTAs might be reconsidered.
