Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: According to ICCVAM recommended HET-CAM Method Protocol (Nov. 2006)
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The HET-CAM method is an alternative in vitro procedure that predicts the ocular irritative or corrosive potential of a test substance by observing the development of irritancy effects in the chicken egg chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). The CAM is a vital vascular fetal membrane with a closed blood vessel system. Given the high vascularity of this membrane, this method is proposed to provide information on the effects that may occur in the conjunctiva (a highly vascularised ocular structure) following exposure to a test substance.
