The nonmalignant breast cell line MCF-10AT; breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and SKBR3; and a cell line cultured from the primary tumor of a breast cancer patient (IDCm73T) were left untreated (dose 0), were dosed with 6H5 mAb (10 μg/mL/dose), and continuously exposed for to mAb for 24 hours (dose 1), were treated at 24 and 48 hours and continuously exposed to mAb (dose 2) or were treated at 24, 48, and 72 hours and continuously exposed to mAb (dose 3). Cells were stained with trypan blue and living cells were counted from four fields under low power microscopy. Mean values from at least three independent experiments are presented. CI = confidence interval; mAb = monoclonal antibodies; N = number of independent experiments.

P values were calculated using a two-sided Student's test.
