Assays evaluating the cytotoxic activity of the peptides against fresh mouse red blood cells (mRBCs) 1% Triton X-100 (triangle) served as positive control (100% hemolysis). (A) The release of hemoglobin was measured at 540 nm. In assays evaluating the cytotoxic activity of the different peptides and antibiotics against RAW 264.7 monocytes (B) L929 (C) and HEK-293 (D) cells were incubated for 24 h. cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. Values within the table correspond to the concentration (given in μM) of the Clavanin A (star), clavanin-MO (square) and LL-37 (asterisk). Data represent the mean of three experiments performed in triplicate. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. *p
