Evaluation of cell toxicity. Hemoglobin and LDH release from human red blood cells and human gastric adenocarcinoma cells (panel A and B respectively) after addition of LL-37 (circles), WLBU2 (diamonds), and CSA-13 (triangles), followed by incubation for 1 h at 37°C. Data shown are means ± SD of three experiments. Morphology of human gastric adenocarcinoma cells before (control) and after LL-37, WLBU2 and CSA-13 treatment was evaluated by phase-contrast microscopy (panel C). Data from one representative experiment are shown. Two other experiments revealed similar results.
