The objective of the study was to evaluate the responsiveness of an in vitro test system designed for the prediction of chemical respiratory sensitizers – ALIsens® (Figure 3f) (Chary et al., 2019). The cellular arrangement enables the development of a tissue microenvironment (Figure 1) achieved by direct communication between cells (Figure 2) and indirectly via secreted messenger molecules. Additionally, it facilitates the exposure to respiratory sensitizers in a realistic approach, at the air-liquid-interface (ALI), as well as in submerged conditions.
