The promoting molecular mechanism of alpha-fetoprotein on the growth of human hepatoma Bel7402 cell line

Figure 2 The blockage of anti-AFP to the effect of AFP on the proliferation of cells. A. The data of MTT assay. B. The data of ³H-TdR incorporation. The cells were respectively treated with either AFP (20 mg·L^-1), anti-AFP (40 mg·L^-1), AFP (20 mg·L^-1) + anti-AFP (40 mg·L^-1) or HSA (20 mg·L^-1) for 48 h. (MTT assay) or 18 h (³H-TdR incorporation). The data represented as the mean value of four independent experiments performed each in triplicate. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 vs control (0 mol·L^-1).
