β¦ Synopsis
In vitro assays for the screening of developmental toxicity potential have been under development for approximately 15 years.
During that period, we have learned that assays consisting of primary cultures of embryonic tissues or cells, intact embryos in culture, or free-living embryos are capable of distinguishing between mammalian developmental toxicants and nondevelopmental toxicants with an accuracy of 280%.

The chromosome aberration assay in vitro is a useful and sensitive test for detection of genotoxins. However, aberrations can occur secondary to toxicity, with compounds that do not react with DNA and are not genotoxic in vivo. Thus, some positive results in the in vitro aberration assay are not rel
