effects of PDF alone and its combination with VC on canine cancer cells
| Canine cancer cells | Growth inhibition (%) |
|
|---|---|---|
| +PDFa | +PDF/VCb | |
| CF33 | ~40% GI with PDF (500 μg/ml) | ~90% CD |
| (mammary gland) | ~65% GI with PDF (1,000) | |
| CF21 | ~30% GI with PDF (500) | ~90% CD |
| (connective tissue) | ~70% GI with PDF (1,000) | |
| CL-1 | ~20% CD with PDF (500) | >95% CD |
| (lymphoma) | >90% CD with PDF (1,000) | |
Notes:
a
Effective concentrations of PDF tested (0–1,000 μg/ml) are shown;
b
Combination of PDF (150 μg/ml) and VC (200 μM) was tested, but this VC alone had no effects.
Abbreviations: GI, growth inhibition; CD, cell death; PDF, Maitake D-fraction.
