HUMAN TISSUE MODEL FOR VAGINAL IRRITATION STUDIES.
Recently, EpiVaginal™, a tissue culture-based model of the vaginal epithelium, has been developed. Normal, human ectocervico-vaginal (ECV) epithelial cells were induced to form a three-dimensional tissue using specially formulated serum free medium. The in vitro tissue reproduces many of the...
