Effects of crude microsytins on HUVECs tubes formation in Martigel. Various concentrations (5, 10, 20, 40 and 60 μl/mL) of microcystin were used to study its inhibitory potential on HUVECs proliferation in Matrigel. HUVECS were seeded in 96 well microtiter plate and incubate for 24 h under various concentrations of crude microcystin (control without microcystins) and photographed randomly at three different sites. a, b represents the photographs of HUVECs in control well (HUVECs without treatment with microcystins). c, d represents the HUVECs photographs shot after treatment with the lowest concentration i.e. 5 μl/mL of microcystin extract. e, f, g and h represent the photograph of HUVECs in different wells treated with different concentration of crude microcystin in the range of 10, 20, 40 and 60 μl/mL respectively
