  1. *values are an average of 10 random vertical scans of well surface.
  2. The dash (-) indicates no effects. (+) indicates between 4-6 clusters of grouped cells. (++) indicates between 8-10 clusters of grouped cells. (+++) indicates between 15-18 clusters of grouped cells. (++++) indicates more than 20 clusters of grouped cells.
  3. Assays were performed in triplicate and scored by persons unaware of the contents of the wells.
