Effect of CsA on UT-7/Mpl cell survival.

UT-7 cells overexpressing EGFP or FKBP51 were cultured with or without GM-CSF and with or without CsA (1 μg/mL) for 48 hours. The MTT test was performed. Cell survival was tested by an MTT test. CsA partially reverted cell death induced by cytokine withdrawal in normal cells but had no significant effect on the survival of UT-7/Mpl cells overexpressing FKBP51.
