The developmental toxicity of thalidomide was evaluated using FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay - Xenopus). Young X. Laevis embryos were exposed to this compound in each of two concentration-response experiments with and without differently induced exogenous metabolic activation systems (MASs)

The Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay-Xenopus (FETAX) was used to assess the teratogenic potential of four solvents. Embryos of the South African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, were exposed for 96 h to ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), formamide or glycerol formal. Exposure groups were maintained usin
## Abstract Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay—__Xenopus__ (FETAX) is a 4‐day, alternative developmental toxicity assay designed to pre‐screen chemicals and environmental mixtures. An approach used in the scoring of FETAX results, which focuses on the determination of characteristic abnormalities indu
Potential mechanisms of 4-bromobenzene-induced developmental toxicity were evaluated using frog embryo teratogenesis assay-Xenopus (FETAX). Early X. laevis embryos were exposed to 4-bromobenzene in two separate definitive concentration-response tests with and without an exogenous metabolic activatio
The FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay--Xenopus) whole embryo bioassay has been developed to screen for environmental substances that cause birth defects. We have used this assay to test its effectiveness in working with actual water samples from the field. Tar Creek is contaminated by discharge
