Cell proliferation of tick cell line BME26 after incubation of 50 μg of mAb BrBm37 or BrBm 38 during 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after treatment. The cells were cultured for seven days in the presence of antibodies BrBm37 or BrBm38. As control, 50 μL of phosphate saline buffer or 50 μg of a non-related mAb was used. Cell concentrations were determined using a counting chamber. On all tested days, values of BrBm37 and BrBm38 groups were significantly different (One-way analysis of variance—ANOVA, p < 0.05) as compared to the control groups.
