Scorpion Venom Modulates the Concentration of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines in F3II Tumor Cells.

The ability of scorpion venom to modulate the concentration of cytokines related to its antitumoral effect is unknown. F3II cells were treated with ¼ IC, ½ IC and the IC of scorpion venom. Tumor growth kinetics in F3II-bearing mice were evaluated after 24 days of oral administration of venom doses.
