Influence of Different Aldehydes on the Chemiluminescence Activity of Rat Alveolar Macrophages
Conference paper
Abstract
In order to replace or reduce animal tests, intensive efforts are made to develop test assays that allow objective evaluation of the toxicity of chemical substances or even exceed the possibilities of animal tests. Alveolar macrophages are a suitable test system for disinfectants like aldehydes since they represent the first cells to establish contact between environment and organism following inhalation and have toxifying and detoxifying capabilities.
