Excerpt
Introduction: The use of tissue cultures to assess the toxicity of chemicals has appealed to many scientists, although this technique is not yet widely used. As indicated by the attitude expressed recently in a publication of the World Health Organization (I), some toxicologists are loath to extrapolate to intact animals the results of cytotoxicity evaluations on cells cultured in vitro. This meeting to define positions concerning the application of tissue cultures to toxicity evaluation is timely. From the deliberations of this forum may come reasoned policies to guide the utilization of tissue cultures to assay the toxic potential of chemicals.
