Protocol descibes the use of L929 mouse fibroblast cells cultured in vitro in an agarose overlay assay to assess the toxicity of test substances. The assay may be useful in assessing the irritation potential of test substances (e.g. surfactant-based products) as an alternative to the Draize rabbit eye test. - [Read Agarose Overlay Assay Protocol]
Protocol for polyclonal antibody production. Very useful for rapid and simple generation of antibodies for western blots, ELISA assays, and immunoprecipitation. Includes: Rabbit Immunization; Initial Preparation; Pre-bleed; Antigen Injection; Monitoring of Titer; Purification of Antibodies. - [Read Polyclonal Antibody Production Protocol]
In this test rabbit articular chondrocytes are cultured in the presence of test compound, the toxicity of which is then determined by its effect on the production of proteoglycan by the cells, as detected by the dye Alcian Blue. - [Read Rabbit Articular Chondrocyte Functional Toxicity Test]
Rabbit-derived corneal cells are cultured in the presence of test compounds, the toxicity of which are determined by their effect upon cell viability. A decrease in cell number, as measured by uptake of the dye Neutral Red, serves as an indicator of potential cytotoxicity. This test has been proposed as a potential replacement alternative for the Draize Eye Irritation test. - [Read SIRC Cytotoxcitiy Test]
