Assessing the potential of fish cell lines as tools for the cytotoxicity testing of estuarine sediment aqueous elutriates
Abstract
In the present study, we assess the potential of fish cell lines (CHSE, EPC and RTG-2) to be used as screening tools for the ecotoxicological assessment of estuarine sediments. The processing of sediment to a form suitable for in vitro exposure is an inherent problem when using cell cultures. The approach employed in this study was to prepare aqueous elutriate extracts from whole sediments, which were subsequently used to reconstitute powdered …
