Evaluation of immune responses and cytological changes in Lumbricus terrestris and Eisenia foetida as assays for xenobiotics
The earthworms, Lubricus terrestris and Eisenia foetida, were used as non mammalian surrogate models to assess the immunotoxicpotential of xenobiotic to mammals. Assays were developed and optimized for detecting spreading activity and phagocytosis of rabbit red blood cell (RRBC), bacteria, and yeast...
