Effect of plasma-treated methionine solution on aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity in human endometrial carcinoma (HEC-1) cancer cells. Top: Dot-blot data from Aldefluor assay of cells grown in the absence of the ALDH-specific inhibitor DEAB (diethylaminobenzaldehyde). Bottom: Dot-blot data for cells grown in the presence of the ALDH inhibitor DEAB. (a) Plasma-untreated methionine solution and (b) plasma-treated methionine solution. All samples were diluted by half with cell culture medium (D-MEM) without fetal bovine serum and penicillin streptomycin.
