Figure 3. Effect of E. baetica lectin on the proliferation of human leukemic THP-1 cells. Cells were incubated in the presence of 3, 6, 9, 12 μg / mL lectin for up to 5 days. Positive control corresponds to cells treated with vehicle (PBS), negative control corresponds to cells treated with the apoptosis inducing agent camptothecin (20 M). Results are the mean ± SEM for n = 6. *** (p < 0.005), significantly different as compared to positive control
