Figure 5From: Biochemical characterization and evaluation of cytotoxicity of antistaphylococcal chimeric protein P128In vitro cytotoxicity of P128. Cytotoxicity of P128 was evaluated on mammalian cell lines (A) Vero cells and (B) HEp2 cells. Mitomycin C was used as a control cytotoxic agent and absorbance at 590 nm was interpreted as a function of cell viability. Calculation of viable cells in case of the Mitomycin C or P128-treated groups was based on the cell-control and taking viability in the control group to be 100%. Each group was evaluated in quadruplicates and the whole experiment repeated twice. Results are expressed as means±standard deviation.Back to article page
