Assessment of toxicity of Mo-CBP3-PepI to human cell lines. (A) L929, (B) HaCaT, and (C) MRC-5 lines were incubated with synthetic peptide at a concentration of 1 mg mL⁻¹ to evaluate the damage to DNA by comet assay. (D–F) Cell lines were incubated with peptides as described and evaluated for viable cells and cells in apoptosis. MMS (4 × 10⁻⁵ M) was employed as a positive control for cell toxicity, and healthy cells as a negative control for toxicity. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. * p < 0.05. Small letters indicate statistical significance.
