| Electrophoresis Applications | The synergistic effect of Pyrantel Pamoate and Metronidazole on was evaluated in the pathogenic protozoan Giardia lamblia. The in vitro effect was evaluated on its adherence to IEC-6 cells. When presented in combination, the percent adhesion was remarkably reduced, while providing low cytotoxicity to host cells (Hausen et al, 2011). |
