Abstract
Toxicologists should be aware of the rapid development of in vitro methods over the 10 last years, as they will have a major impact on this field (Frazier, 1993). The two main driving forces behind this development are a better understanding of cell biology, which has led to improvements in the use of cell culture models, and ethical pressures from animal rights movements (Balls, 1991; Goldberg and Frazier, 1989).
