Bystander effects of GCV and 5-FC on HSC-3 cells. HSC-3 mVenus-TK or HSC-3 mVenus-CD cells were mixed with HSC-3 mVenus cells to a final percentage of suicide gene positive of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The cell mixtures were treated with 25 µM GCV or 100 µM 5-FC for 72 h. Cell viability was measured via MTT and normalized to the MTT reading of HSC-3 mVenus cells. Cell viability was plotted against the percentage of suicide gene-positive cells. Data are represented as the mean ± standard deviation of three experiments. CD, cytosine deaminase; TK, thymidine kinase; GCV, ganciclovir; 5-FC, 5-fluorocytosine.
