Effect of cadmium on viability of RPTEC/TERT1, HRTPT and HREC24T cell lines. The RPTEC/TERT1, HRTPT and HREC24T cell lines were treated with 4.5 µM Cd2+ or 9µM Cd2+ for 34 days and the viable number of cells were determined by flow cytometric analysis. (A and D). Viability of RPTEC/TER1 cells after exposure to 4.5 (A) and 9 (D) µM Cd2+. (B and E). Viability of HRTPT cells after exposure to 4.5 (B) and 9 (E) µM Cd2+. (C and F). Viability of HREC24T cells after exposure to 4.5 (C) and 9 (F) µM Cd2+. The experiments were done in triplicates and the values are plotted as % of control (red dotted line). Analysis was done in triplicates and plotted as the mean ±SD.
