title: Effects of carmine and carminic acid on embryonic tissue cell cultures.
abstract: The biological reaction to carmine and carminic acid at cellular level on 'in vitro' cultures was tested and significant variables were controlled. Results suggested that proliferation and metabolism of these cultures were not affected by the 2 stains.
