What Types of Cells are Used in Toxicology Studies?
Various cell types are used in toxicology studies, including human-derived cells, animal cells, and immortalized cell lines. Primary cells, directly isolated from tissues, offer more physiologically relevant data but have limited lifespan. Immortalized cell lines, like HeLa or HepG2, are modified to proliferate indefinitely, providing a consistent and reproducible model for long-term studies.
