Viability of human SH-SY5Y cells reduced by bFGF-binding peptides. (A) Death of SH-SY5Y, Hep G2 and HUVEC cells was induced by bFGF-binding peptides extracted from FTV. (B) Morphology of SH-SY5Y cells following treatment by bFGF-binding peptides. Data show one of similar results from three independent experiments. **P<0.01 (P=0.0014), *P<0.05 vs. 0 µg/ml bFGF-binding peptide (P=0.031 in HepG2 and P=0.035 in HUVEC cells). Data show mean ± standard error from three independent experiments.
