A method is described which combines the use of a visual morphological cytotoxicity assay with a quantitative neutral red (NR) spectrophotometric test, for the assessment of the effect of toxic agents on 3T3 cells in culture. These sensitive and reproducible assays lend themselves to a screening procedure of potential toxicants which can help reduce the use of animals for toxicity testing.
本文描述了一种方法,该方法将视觉形态学细胞毒性试验与定量中性红(NR)分光光度法相结合,用于评估有毒试剂对培养的3T3细胞的影响。这些灵敏且可重复的试验适用于潜在毒物的筛选程序,有助于减少毒性测试中动物的使用。
