IC50 value for tacalcitol (PRI-2191) alone above 1000 nM; * counted on the basis of proliferation inhibition plots. CI, combination index counted for imatinib mesylate combined with the given cytostatic with or without tacalcitol. A combination index of CI < 0.8 indicated synergism, CI > 1.2 antagonism and CI = 0.8–1.2 an additive effect; ** IC50 value for Imatinib without cytostatics; *** CI is countless. The IC50 values presented are the mean ± SD obtained for 3–5 separate experiments.
