Table 4.
Grade | Toxicity | Cell Morphology |
---|---|---|
0 | lack | Discrete intracytoplasmic granules, no evidence of cell lysis, lack of inhibition of cell growth |
1 | weak | No more than 20% of rounded, shrunk cells, separating from the substrate without densities of cytoplasm, individual cells disrupted |
2 | moderate | No more than 50% of rounded cells, no evidence of granules, vast cell lysis and empty spaces between cells |
3 | average | No more than 70% of rounded cells, cells underwent lysis |
4 | strong | Almost completely or completely damaged cell culture |
