Fig. 1From: The sulphated polysaccharides extract ulvans from Ulva armoricana limits Marek’s disease virus dissemination in vitro and promotes viral reactivation in lymphoid cellsUlvans does not affect avian cell viability. Chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEFs) and MDV transformed T-lymphocytes (3867 K) were treated with vitamin complex (VitComp), Searup® or the ulvans extract at the indicated concentrations or left untreated (NT). At indicated time points (hpt), (A) the viability of the CEFs cells was assessed using the CellTiter-Glo® kit. Results are presented as fold-change of ATP production values assessed for treated cells relative to ATP produced in non-treated cells (NT = 1). (B) The viability of 3867 K cells was estimated by flow cytometry using the Fixable Viability Dye eFluor™ 780. Three independent experiments are represented as means (+/− SEM) of the percentage of viable 3867 K cells (eFluor negative). Statistics analyses did not show any difference (P > 0.05)Back to article page
