| Abstract | As an alternative to the standard Draize eye irritation test, the potential irritancy of compounds was evaluated by observing adverse changes that occur in chorioallantoic membrane CAM) of the hen egg (HECAM) after exposure to a test chemical placed directly on the CAM. The occurrence of hemorrhage, coagulation, and lysis in response to a test compound is the basis for employing this technique to evaluate its potential for in vivo damage to mucous membrane, in particular the eye. Irritancy is scored according to the severity and speed at which damage occurs. In the present study, five different classes of pesticides were screened for irritation potential. There was good correlation between the HECAM assay and the in vivo Draize eye irritation test. The proposed HECAM assay, which reduces the requirement for laboratory animals, could be a painless alternative to the Draize test. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
