The effects of L. francisci on mouse peritoneal cavity cells. The figures show the percentage decrease in the number or metabolic activity of the mouse peritoneal cavity cells after treatment with L. francisci extracts. A “+” indicates an increase in cell density or metabolic activity. The MTT assay measured metabolic activity, while the trypan blue exclusion assay measured cell density in cells/mL.
