Figure 6From: Phellinus linteus polysaccharide extracts increase the mitochondrial membrane potential and cause apoptotic death of THP-1 monocytesInduction of differentiation in PBMCs by P. linteus polysaccharide extract. (a) Freshly prepared PBMC's (107 cells/mL) were incubated for 24Â h in medium containing 1Â mg/mL P. linteus polysaccharide extract. (b) Control, incubated in medium without P. linteus polysaccharide extract. After 24Â h cultivation in a 24 well plate cells were drained,washed with PBS, fixated by 4% buffered formaldehyde and stained crystal violet.Back to article page
