Cytoxicity assays for ISO/ICCVAM/HC: Balb/c C3T3; L929; MRC5
The Balb/c c3T3, L929, and MRC5 cell lines are available for testing basal cytotoxicity with various protocols and a range of test substances. Study designs can be tailored to meet the specific data requirement needed.
Early in vitro toxicology assays can reliably characterize the safety profile of the test substance, thus reducing the number of animals required for in vivo studies.
Assays vary according to the type of test substance or data requirement e.g., UNI EN ISO 10993/2009 guidance on MTS assays for exposure of L929 cells to a medical device test substance.
