The K562, Lucena-1 and FEPS cell lines were provided of Immunology Laboratory at the Medical Biochemistry Institute Leopoldo de Meis of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). The cells were were cultured in the Cell Culture Laboratory of the Federal University of Rio Grande at 37 • C in 5% CO 2 in disposable plastic flasks containing RPMI 1640 (Gibco, Brazil), medium supplemented with sodium bicarbonate (2.0 g/L) (Vetec, Brazil), l-glutamine (0.3 g/L) (Vetec, Brazil), Hepes (25 mM) (Acros, Belgium), 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Brazil), 1% antibiotic (penicillin, 100 U/mL and streptomycin 100 mg/mL) (Gibco, Brazil) and antimycotic (amphotericin B 0.25 mg/mL -Sigma, Brazil). For maneitance of MDR phenotype, Lucena-1 cell line was maintained with 60 nM of VCR (Sigma, Brazil) and FEPS cell line with 300 ng/ml of DNR (Sigma, Brazil).
Sodium bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate is a white, crystalline powder. It has the chemical formula NaHCO3 and is commonly known as baking soda. The primary function of sodium bicarbonate is to act as a pH regulator, neutralizing acidic substances.

Cytotoxicity of Microcystins in HTC Cells
The cytotoxicity assay was performed by trypan blue exclusion after 24 hours of incubation with microcystins. Three independent experiments were carried out using triplicates in each experiment. Data are expressed as mean + standard error and analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple range test. Significance level was fixed in 0.05.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
