An Assay to Measure Chemically-Induced Cytotoxicity in Human Precision-Cut Lung Slices

This video illustrates a technique for evaluating cytotoxicity in human precision-cut lung slices through the WST-1 assay. Human precision-cut lung slices are subjected to incremental concentrations of a cytotoxic chemical to quantify their cytotoxicity. A decrease in color intensity serves as confirmation of the chemical's detrimental impact on lung cells.
