متن کاملCytotoxicity Testing of Topical Antimicrobial Agents on Human Keratinocvtes and Fibroblasts for Cultured Skin
Cultured epidermal skin has become an adjunctive therapy for treatment of major burn injuries, but its effectiveness is greatly limited because of destruction by microbial contamination. To evaluate candidate antimicrobial agents for use with cultured skin, a combined cytotoxicity-antimicrobial assay system was developed for determination of toxicity to cultured human keratinocytes and fibrobla...
