Dr. Carol Treasure discusses adapting the KeratinoSens skin sensitization test to be animal-product free. She explains that most in vitro testing methods still use animal components like fetal bovine serum and outlines the challenges of replacing them. XCellR8 adapted KeratinoSens to use human serum and recombinant trypsin instead. They validated the modified method using reference chemicals and it correctly classified all chemicals. The adapted method was published as an OECD test guideline annex, demonstrating regulatory acceptance of animal-product free in vitro testing.
