Research needs to be done to prove the ability of BD ligand to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of pancreatic carcinoma cells and suppress mutant p53 protein expression in invitro.MethodsA cytotoxicity test was performed on PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells to search for LC50 from BD ligand and G. After LC50 was determined immunohistochemicaltest with concentration of half LC50, LC50 and twice LC50 then mutant p53 expression was shown in percentage of cells.ResultsLC50 of BD ligand is 28,86?l/ml and LC50 G is 1,455,55?g/ml. At the highest concentration of 20?l/ml BD ligand inhibited cancer cell proliferation 25.258%, while G at the highest concentration of 300 ?g/ml was able to inhibit 2.06%. On the kruskalwallis statistic test p = 0,000 (p <0>ConclusionsThe potential inhibition of mutant p53 expression of PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells by invading BD ligand shows a significant difference with G.
