Skin Corrosion (ECVAM Validated)
The Model
MatTek's patented EpiDerm¢â System consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. These "ready-to-use" tissues, also known generically as Normal Human-3D (NHu-3D), are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts using serum free medium, attain levels of differentiation on the cutting edge of in vitro skin technology. Ultrastructurally, the EpiDerm Skin Model closely parallels human skin, thus providing a useful in vitro means to assess dermal irritancy and toxicology.

The Method
ÇÁ·ÎÅäÄÝ ¿äûÀº ÀÌ°÷À¸·Î.
-
Transfer tissues from agarose to assay medium
-
Incubate (37 ¡¾1¡ÆC, 5 ¡¾1% CO2, 95% RH) overnight (18 ¡¾3 h)
-
Dose tissues with 30 ¥ìl/25 mg TS, PC, or NC
-
Expose one set of tissues for 3 min (37 ¡¾1¡ÆC, 5 ¡¾1% CO2, 95% RH) and a second set of tissue for 60 min (37 ¡¾1¡ÆC, 5 ¡¾1% CO2, 95% RH)
-
Stop exposure by rinsing in DPBS
-
Blot tissues and perform MTT assay
-
Read OD in a plate spectrophotometer at 550-570nm
The Endpoints
