In vitro and in vivo methods in immunotoxicology

Toxicol Pathol. 1987;15(3):276-80. doi: 10.1177/019262338701500304.

Abstract

One approach to assessment of the immunotoxic effects of drugs and chemicals upon the immune system is briefly described. Appropriate in vivo and in vitro methods and techniques are delineated. It is likely that programs implemented at individual institutions will be modified to specific circumstances.
