Crystal violet proliferation assay.
(a) Proliferation rates of the keratocytes under treatments as defined in legend to Fig. 1, as revealed by crystal violet assays. *p < 0.001 compared to CON−; **p < 0.001 compared to CON+ and CON− (ANOVA). For details of conditions, see legend to Fig. 1. (b) Representative phase-contrast light microscopy image of keratocytes after treatment with crystal violet, before photometric measurements.
