How Is Lymphocyte Function Assessed in Toxicology?
In toxicology, lymphocyte function is assessed using various assays and tests. Common methods include the lymphocyte proliferation assay, which measures the ability of lymphocytes to multiply in response to a stimulus, and the cytokine release assay, which evaluates the production of signaling molecules by lymphocytes. Other tests may focus on cytotoxicity or apoptosis, providing insight into how toxins impact lymphocyte viability and activity.
