Aggregated 13S and 13L lower viability of KT-5 astrocytic cells. (a) Viability of KT-5 cells treated with TAMRA, scrambled serine, 13S or 13L (n = 5, each) was tested 4 days after application of peptides. The values relative to that of TAMRA-treated cells are expressed. Error bars represent SE. ANOVA, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. (b,c) Extensive KT-5 cell death by aggregated 13S (b) and 13L (c), as revealed by transmission electron microscopy. The peptides were added in the culture medium of KT-5 cells at a final concentration of 10 µg/ml and were incubated for 1 day at 37 °C. An arrowhead indicate aggregates inside KT-5 cells. Scale bars, 5 µm.
