Figure 6From: Cervical squamous carcinoma cells are resistant to the combined action of tumor necrosis factor-α and histamine whereas normal keratinocytes undergo cytolysisThe effect of histamine and/or TNF-α on SiHa cells with and without inhibition of protein synthesis. The cells were pretreated with emetine and then cultivated and treated with indicated concentrations of histamine and/or TNF-α. The results are expressed as the percentage of the absorbance in the control wells. Each bar represents the mean of three individual cultures ± SD. "*" denotes p < 0.05 when compared with the control values.Back to article page
