Abstract
Prednisolone, indomethacin, and Aloe vera gel were tested for their effects on the Gey strain of HeLa cells and rabbit kidney
fibroblasts. Actively growing monolayer cultures of HeLa cells and rabbit kidney fibroblasts
were exposed to various concentrations of the three test agents. Toxicity of the test
agents was estimated by counting the number of viable cells remaining at the end of
three different time intervals. Results suggest that prednisolone was more toxic to
rabbit kidney cells and less toxic to HeLa cells than indomethacin and that Aloe vera gel was less toxic to both types of cells than prednisolone.
