This article presents the historical control data of spontaneous tumors in Tg.rasH2 published in 2013 (2004–2012) and compares and contrasts it to more recent data collected from 2013 to 2018, reporting differences in the average percentage incidences or incidence ranges as well as the incidence of new tumors. In 2013, we published a comprehensive review of spontaneous tumors in Tg.rasH2 mice used in 26-week carcinogenicity studies, which included data from control dose groups from 26 studies and a total of 710 mice per sex. The total database, now including the more recent data, has nearly doubled the number of animals, completing to date a total of 52 studies in males and 51 studies in females for a total of 1,615 male mice and 1,560 female mice, respectively. In this article, we compare the data collected from 2004 to 2012 against the data collected from 2013 to 2018 and the overall tumor incidence change.

The physiological and health status of control animals may vary. Due to this variation, it is important to define acceptable ranges of control hematology parameters to gain a better understanding of adverse and non-adverse effects of test substances. After generating historical control data for two Wistar rat strains (RccHan™:WIST and Crl:WI(Han)) from different breeders, the data sets were statistically analyzed using Minitab®. After noticing that single outliers can affect the study control data set, the respective outliers were verified relative to the available histopathology findings, for example, inflammatory pulmonary lesions following vehicle aspiration or spontaneous sperm granuloma affecting the health status and hematology data of the respective animals. Such data points were excluded from the control data set. Comparing both data sets, it was obvious that different blood sampling and anesthesia methods as well as strain differences may result in slightly different values. After excluding the outliers, a data set from animals with presumably good health status was generated to define acceptable ranges and severity degrees. To evaluate effects, possibly influencing hematology parameters and defined acceptable ranges, selected vehicles and different study types were observed.
