MIC, minimum inhibitory concentration, the lowest peptide concentration (in µM) in a series of twofold dilutions at which no growth was detected; LC95, the lowest peptide concentration at which at east 95% of parasites was killed after 30 minutes; HC50, the lowest peptide concentration causing at least 50% hemolysis; IC50, the lowest peptide concentration causing at least 50% inhibition of Concanavalin A-induced T-cell proliferation. In case of variation among repetitive tests, observed minima and maxima for these values are given, respectively.
