---|---|---|
1N | 2N | |
Control (none) | 87.9 | 12.1 |
Kaneclor 300 | 51.4 | 48.6 |
Kaneclor 400 | 83.2 | 16.8 |

C. testosteroni TK102 cells were grown with Kaneclor 300, Kaneclor 400, Kaneclor 500, or Kaneclor 600. Cells grown without PCBs were used as a control. Cells were collected after 48 h of incubation and analyzed by FCM. The values are the means of three independent experiments.
