Figure 3. IL-1α increases proliferation of BECs.
Trypan blue stained C57 BECs, treated for 24 h as labelled, were counted with a hemocytometer 24 h after treatment (A and B). Scale bar is 200 microns. C. Spectrophotometric MTS readings after 60, 90 and 120 min for cells, treated as labelled. Numbers represent the percent proliferation as compared to 1% serum control conditions.. *p<0.05 vs. vehicle-treated cultures. †††p<0.001 vs. IL-1α. N=3
