Figure 1.
Effect of D. russelii and N. naja venoms on the viability of undifferentiated AB1190 myoblasts. Representative phase contrast images of human myoblasts incubated with different concentrations of D. russelii (A) and N. naja (C) venoms are shown. Cell viability was quantified using an MTS assay in the presence of D. russelii (B) or N. naja (D) venom and represented as the percentages in comparison to the controls. Data represent mean ± SEM (n = 3). P values (**p < 0.01 and ****p < 0.0001) shown were as calculated by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test using GraphPad Prism. The scale bars represent 400 µm.
