Figure 7From: The use of gamma-irradiation and ultraviolet-irradiation in the preparation of human melanoma cells for use in autologous whole-cell vaccines Melanoma cell viability after irradiation. The melanoma cell line VMM39 was evaluated by trypan blue exclusion for the persistence of viable cells at multiple time points after UV-irradiation alone (5 min), gamma-irradiation alone (200 Gy), combined UV-irradiation (5 min) and gamma-irradiation (200 Gy), or no treatment.Back to article page
