The efficacy of low temperature plasma generated by an atmospheric pressure plasma jet, J‐Plasma system (™Bovie Medical Corporation), is studied for its therapeutic effects against the DU145 prostate cancer cell line. The DU145 cells in complete culture media were treated with different exposure times and different J‐Plasma system parameters. The optimum settings of the J‐Plasma system were identified based on the cancer cell viability at 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h post‐low temperature plasma treatments. The results indicate that J‐Plasma killing and cell viability was exposure time dependent and induced a reduction in cell proliferation and delayed killing effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
