IgE Binding Assay | Binds to allergens and triggers histamine release from mast cells and basophils, leading to allergic responses. | Non-Hypoallergenic |
Basophil Activation Test | Measures degranulation of basophils, which release histamine and other mediators in response to allergens, indicating allergic potential. | Hypoallergenic or non-sensitizing |
TNF-α | Triggers systemic inflammation by activating NF-κB signaling and inducing apoptosis in affected cells. | Minimal skin irritation. |
IL-1α and IL-6 | Promotes inflammation and stimulates the production of acute-phase proteins in response to infection or injury. | Reduced inflammation or irritation. |
MTT | Reflects cellular metabolic activity, where viable cells convert MTT to a formazan product, indicating intact mitochondria. | Non-cytotoxic or safe for skin. |
LDH | Released into the extracellular space when cell membranes are damaged, indicating cytotoxicity or cell lysis. | Non-cytotoxic. |
