Redox Stimulation of Human THP-1 Monocytes in Response to Cold Physical Plasma

Figure 4

Analysis of total THP-1 cell metabolism and number. THP-1 monocytes were plasma-treated, and after 72 h the total metabolic activity was assessed in a microplate reader using the resazurin assay (a). Viable cell numbers were determined of the same samples (b), and the metabolic activity per cell was calculated (c). Twenty-four hours after plasma treatment, cells were subjected to cell cycle analysis (d) and quantitatively compared to each other (e). Data are shown as one representative (d) or mean + S.E. (a, b, c, and e) of three independent experiments.
