Cytotoxic effect of Andosan on myeloma cell lines. The effects are measured as levels of DNA synthesis and converted to per cent of controls (100%). Mean: mean of duplicate experiments. Comparison of the means of controls compared to means of cell lines cultured with Andosan showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.02). SE: standard error.
