Figure 5. Effect of solTNFα on NSC survival.

3 concentrations of solTNFα (0.1 µM, 1 µM and 10 µM) were added to freshly seeded NSC cultures. Cells were evaluated up to 24 hours for signs of cell death. No increase in cell death relative to untreated cultures was observed in the cultures treated with solTNFα. The images taken of the cells treated with 0.1 µM of solTNFα, are representative of data obtained for all concentrations and are shown at (A) 1 hour, (B) 4 hours and (C) 24 hours post cytokine treatment. (D) Untreated cells are shown at 24 hours for comparison.
