a Cytotoxicity of SCF on A-549 cells using MTT assay. SCF was tested for its cytotoxicity at different dosages on A-549 cultured cells. Cells were treated with various dosages of SCF for 24, 48, and 72 h. Cell viability was depicted as percentage of viable cells, taking untreated cells served as control (regarded as 100% viable cells); (n = 4 replicates). b Resazurin reduction assay to study effects of SCF on viability of A-549 cells. Effect of SCF on viability of A-549 cells was assayed in a dose-dependent manner. Untreated cells were considered as 100% viable. Viability of SCF-treated cells were assayed every 24 h for 72 h post treatment using untreated cells as reference. Cells treated with SCF actively converted resazurin to resorufin indicating increase in metabolic activity of the cells post treatment; (n = 3 replicates)
