Employing PI/Annexin V apoptosis assays, we showed that no significant cell death (neither necrosis nor apoptosis) of LLC cells was induced at either 40 or 60 μM α-MG (Figure 3C), altogether, suggesting that the inhibitory effect of α-MG on periFN assembly on suspended tumor cells is not due to reduced viability and induced cell death. The gene discussed is ANXA5; the disease is neoplasm.
