Record detail

Figure 3D: the cell viability of P21 was significantly reduced at 25 uM (p < 0.05), and the cytotoxic peptide concentration produced at this time was higher than that of other peptides, and the cytotoxicity of P21 itself was lower.

Record detail

Figure 5: P21 polypeptide has a good inhibitory effect on the PC12 cytotoxicity caused by the aggregation of Aβ1-42 at a low concentration ratio (1:0.25 and 1:0.5). After the concentration ratio of P21 reached 1:1, with the increase of P21 concentration (1:2, 1:4), cell viability continued to increase, reaching the maximum at 1:4, which was close to the normal level.
