In the recent paper by R. M. Rice, et a1.l I am quoted as having said "that no compound which is nontoxic in uitro will be toxic by intramuscular implantation."2 The impression created is that this was a general conclusion reached by me in this review paper. In actuality, although a very similar sta

โฆ Synopsis
An zn vztro method has been developed for screening of candidate biomaterials in an early phase of their development. The test is based on L-929 mouse fibroblast cultures and their response to powdered polymer samples. I t applies microscopic observation for the detection of morphological changes, uses dye exclusion testing for cell viability determination, and utilizes estimation of population doublings as an end point. The test is shown to be reliable and reproducible and is compared to zn WJO implantation studies in rats, previously reported.
