doi: 10.1186/2045-3701-3-28
Figure Lengend Snippet: SVPII and SVPIII enhanced proliferation of irradiated M-NFS-60 cells (applied alone or with IL-3). M-NFS-60 cells were irradiated for 5 min (5 Gy total dose) and then treated with PBS (control), 3 mg/L SVPII for 48 h (II), 3 mg/ml SVPIII for 48 h (III), 10 μg/L IL-3 for 48 h (IL-3), or the indicated combinations (II + IL-3, III + IL-3). * P < 0.01 vs. control; # P < 0.05 vs. II or vs. III).
Article Snippet: Recombinant human macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhM-CSF) and recombinant mouse (rm) IL-3 were purchased from PeproTech Co. AlamarBlue™ was purchased from AbD Serotec (Great Britain), and membrane protein isolation kits were from Bio-Rad.
