Figure 6.

Effect of lectin on cell proliferation after 24 h during which lectins were removed from the cells, employing the ³[H]-thymidine assay. The cells were previously incubated for 24 h with lectin solution; then, the solution was removed and the cells were incubated for only 24 h with the cell culture solutions [Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) and fetal bovine serum (FBS)]. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments.
