class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 1. The effects of sofosbuvir, ribavirin and interferon-α on cell proliferation of HCC cells. (A) Two-dimensional cell proliferation assay in OR-6 and Huh 7.5.1 cells treated with different doses of SOF (0.25 to 5 μM), interferon-α (1 to 1000 IU) and ribavirin (0.1 to 100 μM) for 24 hrs were performed. (B) The OR-6 and Huh 7.5.1 cells were grown in three-dimensional culture dish and treated with different doses of SOF (0.25 to 5 μM), interferon-α (1 to 1000 IU) and ribavirin (0.1 to 100 μM) for 24 hrs to inspect cell proliferation. The experiments were performed from three independent experiments. (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001).
