Figure 2From: Therapy with un-engineered naïve rat umbilical cord matrix stem cells markedly inhibits growth of murine lung adenocarcinoma [ 3 H]-thymidine-uptake into LLC cells was significantly attenuated by co-culture with a small number of rat UCMSCs. This experiment suggests that direct co-culture of a small number of rat UCMSCs significantly attenuates division of LLC cells. Rat UCMSCs (1 × 103 or 2 × 103/well) were co-cultured with LLC cells (6 × 103) in a 24-well culture plate. The [3H] thymidine-uptake was evaluated 72 hrs after the co-culture, as described in the Materials and Methods section. The experiment was performed twice with quadruplicate determinations.Back to article page
