Figure 1. Cytotoxicity of intercomplementing anthrax lethal toxins to human HNSCC cell lines.

Figure 1

Cal27 (blue triangles), Hep2 (purple triangles), HN6 (green squares), HN12 (purple squares), and HN30 (yellow diamonds) cells were incubated with increasing concentrations of wildtype PA in combination with FP59 (A), intercomplementing PA (PA-U2-R200A + PA-L1-I210A) in the presence of FP59 (B), wildtype PA with LF (C) or intercomplementing PA with LF (D) for 48 h. The cell viability was then measured using an MTT assay. HT29 colon carcinoma (grey circles) and HeLa (red circles) cells were used as a positive and negative controls, respectively [52], [74]. Cell survival is expressed as mean viability ± standard deviation of the mean.
