The graph displays the effect of RIP (Ribosome-Inactivating Protein) on cell survival across various cancer types. The x-axis represents the concentration of RIP in micrograms per liter (µg/liter), shown on a logarithmic scale ranging from 0.01 to 10. The y-axis indicates cell survival percentage, ranging from 0% to 100%. Key elements of the graph include: - **Type of Cancer:** - **Liver (▲):** Represented by green triangles. - **Skin (●):** Represented by red circles. - **Prostate (■):** Represented by brown squares. - **Breast (◆):** Represented by blue diamonds. - **Trends:** - At lower concentrations of RIP (approximately 0.1 µg/liter), all cancer types show near 100% cell survival. - As concentration increases: - **Skin Cancer:** The survival rate drops significantly, reaching nearly 0% at 10 µg/liter. - **Liver Cancer:** Cancer cells show a moderate decline in survival, dropping to around 60% at the highest concentration. - **Prostate Cancer:** This has a slight reduction in cell survival, maintaining above 90% even at higher concentrations. - **Breast Cancer:** Cell survival remains relatively unaffected, with a slight reduction in viability. This graph indicates varying sensitivity of different cancer types to RIP, highlighting the potential for targeted therapeutic applications.
