Effect of IMe Crude Venom on the Viability of CLL B-lymphocytes and Normal Human Lymphocytes. (A), IMe crude venom reduced the viability of CLL B-lymphocytes, which were treated with 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 μg/ml IMe crude venom for 12 hours and assayed using MTT staining to measure cell viability; (B), at the used concentrations (5-80) in CLL B-lymphocytes, IMe crude venom did not obviously influence the cell viability of normal human lymphocytes. The data are represented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments (n=3). Significance was determined using one-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. IMe, Iranian Mesobuthus eupeus
