Complete Cell Killing by Applying High Hydrostatic Pressure for Acellular Vascular Graft Preparation

Figure 4

Quantification of mitochondria activity of pressure-treated NIH/3T3 cells measured by WST-8 assay. Filled square indicates the mean of the absorbance of the cells with the pressure treatment. Open square indicates the means of the absorbance without the pressure treatment as control experiments. The values shown as the mean ± standard deviation. Significant difference was identified by statistical analysis ( ). The mitochondria activity of the cells was completely inactivated by the pressure treatment of 200 MPa.
