Effect of Albumin on Tumor Cells In Vitro

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

The study examined the effect of BSA on cultured cells of breast cancer, erythroleukemia, and ovarian carcinoma. BSA cytotoxic activity was examined with light microscopy and spectrophotometry in the concentration range of 6.25 to 50 mg/ml. The high concentrations of BSA disrupted the tumor cells in parallel with formation of vesicular debris. The destruction parameters were similar in diverse types of cells: BSA (50 mg/ml) disrupted 75.5±0.7% breast cancer cells, 75.8±0.2% erythroleukemia cells, and 78.8±0.1% cells of ovarian carcinoma (p≥0.05). The effect of BSA was dose-dependent in each type of cells. The data attest that BSA can disrupt various tumor cells in vitro.
