Cytotoxicity of paclitaxel and CBDCA in HA-BAX
versus neo-control clones. SW626 transfectants were seeded onto 24-well
plates and exposed to a range of paclitaxel and CBDCA concentrations as
indicated. Cells were trypsinized and counted on day 3
(A and B) or daily for 5 days
(C). Percent survival was assessed by trypan blue exclusion
and expressed as the percentage of viable cells present in the
treatment group compared with cells grown in medium alone at the
identical time point. For A and B, data
are expressed as the mean ± SEM percent survival of HA-BAX clones
A9, D7, and D8 and of neo-control clones A10, B10, and F8. Data
obtained for C are derived by using HA-BAX clone A9 and
neo-control clone A10 and represent results from two separate
experiments.
