EBV Reactivation and Chromosomal Polysomies: Euphorbia tirucalli as a Possible Cofactor in Endemic Burkitt Lymphoma
Figure 2
To rule out the possibility that the decrease of cell proliferation and the concomitant increase in cell death observed in E. tirucalli-treated cells was due to induction of the lytic pathway of EBV, an EBV-negative cell line (Ramos) was cultured in the same experimental conditions as cord blood derived cells. E. tirucalli treatment had the same effects on cell proliferation and cell death, independently of EBV status. Treated cells showed a decreased cell proliferation (). The graph is representative of three different experiments. Error bars represent standard deviation between duplicates.
