To develop a new bioassay for the air-liquid interface system, they optimized the conditions for the cytochalasin-block in vitro micronucleus test procedure using commercially available PTFE cell culture inserts. After exposure, cells were evaluated for cell viability (WST-1 assay) and for the induction of micronuclei.
