In Europe, the developmental toxicity testing (including teratogenicity) of new cosmetic ingredients is performed according to the Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC: only alternatives leading to full replacement of animal experiments should be used. This chapter presents the three scientifically validated animal alternative methods for the assessment of embryotoxicity: the embryonic stem cell test (EST), the micromass (MM) assay, and the whole embryo culture (WEC) assay.
在欧洲,新化妆品成分的发育毒性测试(包括致畸性)是根据欧盟化妆品指令76/768/EEC进行的:应仅使用能够完全替代动物实验的替代方法。本章介绍了三种经过科学验证的用于评估胚胎毒性的动物替代方法:胚胎干细胞试验(EST)、微团培养(MM)试验和全胚胎培养(WEC)试验。
