Metabolism: a bottleneck in in vitro toxicological test development. The report and recommendations of ECVAM workshop 54.

چکیده
This is the 54th report of a series of workshops organised by the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM). The main objective of ECVAM, as defined in 1993 by its Scientific Advisory Committee, is to promote the scientific and regulatory acceptance of alternative methods which are of importance to the biosciences, and which reduce, refine or replace the use of laboratory animals. One of the first priorities set by ECVAM was the implementation of procedures that would enable it to become well informed about the state-of-the-art of non-animal test development and validation, and of opportunities for the possible incorporation of alternative methods into regulatory procedures. It was decided that this would be best achieved through a programme of ECVAM workshops, each addressing a specific topic, and at which selected groups of independent international experts would review the current status of various types of in vitro tests and their potential uses, and make recommendations about the best ways forward. A workshop on Metabolism: a bottleneck in in vitro toxicological test development, was held at ECVAM on 26–29 January 2004, with participants Metabolism: A Bottleneck in In Vitro Toxicological Test Development

In line with the recommendations of an ECVAM workshop on reproductive toxicity, held in 1994 (1), ECVAM initiated and funded a validation study of three in vitro embryotoxicity tests. In two of these assays, pregnant laboratory animals are used to obtain embryonic tissue — either primary embryonic cells in the mouse micromass (MM) test or embryos in the rat whole embryo culture (WEC) test. In c...
