BQ788 reduces the number of viable cells in cultured melanoma but not kidney cells. Cells were cultured in the presence of the antagonist, vehicle, or with no treatment for 4 days. Three wells of each condition were subjected to the MTS assay. The mean values were calculated and plotted as the percentage of the vehicle-treated value ± SEM. The experiment was repeated three times, with similar results. BQ788 values are indicated by ∗ when significantly different from controls (P < 0.05).
