Inhibition of NF-B (p65) activity by HNK, MCP, and MCP : HNK (9 : 1) in RAW 264.7 mouse monocyte cell line. NF-kB activity is inhibited significantly by MCP and MCP : HNK (9 : 1) treatment of monocytes and not by HNK alone. The treatment groups were compared using paired test; for HNK versus MCP and HNK versus MCP : HNK (9 : 1). No significant difference was observed between MCP and MCP : HNK (9 : 1) treatment. S, synergism between MCP and HNK.
