KG1a, TF-1, and HEL were treated with aracytine (Ara-C; 40 μmol/L), etoposide (VP-16; 20 μmol/L), or daunorubicin (DNR; 1 μmol/L) for 24 hours. Cytotoxicity was measured by using a 4-hour nonradioactive lactate dehydrogenase-release assay. Results are the mean ± standard deviation of four independent experiments performed in triplicate. ND: not determined.
