Abstract

It was suggested in the ICCVAM workshop that the Register of Cytotoxicity (RC), using in vitro cytotoxicity data to predict the in vivo starting doses, should be implemented into acute toxicity testing as soon as possible. The validity of the in vitro cytotoxicity data to establish appropriate starting doses for acute toxicity testing will be assessed experimentally. Secondly, in order to replace the use of animals in acute lethality testing a formal validation will be conducted in which the ability to predict rodent LD50 values and toxicity classes from cytotoxicity data will be evaluated.
