Table 1

Comparison of ED50 [μg/mL] values of Viscum album extract (VAE) Mali and anthroposophically processed Viscum album extract (APVAE) Mali in five different cell lines. Mean ± SD based on 8 independent experiments each. 4th column: APVAE ED50 values expressed relative to VAE data set to 100%. 5th column: -test for independent samples.
