Effects of temporins at different concentrations on the number of metabolically active HaCaT cells

Peptide concn (μM)	Metabolically active cells (%)a
	Ta	Tb
2	104 ± 1.2	104 ± 2
4	103 ± 2.2	101 ± 3.2
8	99 ± 3.3	102 ± 3.5
16	54 ± 1.76	99.97 ± 2.6
32	42 ± 2.2	57.56 ± 3.8
64	6.1 ± 0.7	8.0 ± 0.83

^aThe number of metabolically active cells was determined by the MTT assay and is expressed as percentage with respect to the non-peptide-treated control cells (see Materials and Methods).
