a Tukey HSD 95% confidence intervals for multiple comparisons in each cell line.
b Based on linear mixed effects model for log IC50 as a function of cell line and vehicle.
c Indicated potency ratio is 2.0-fold greater (95% CI: 1.4–2.8) in MNNG-HOS cell line, consistent with significant cell line by vehicle interaction (P = 0.015).
