Kelulut honey or stingless bee honey is a type of honey produced by stingless bees of the Trigona species where the nest is found in living trees.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of Malaysian Kelulut honey by employing MTT assay on a human gingival fibroblast cell line.

Methods:Human gingival fibroblast cell line was cultured in minimal essential medium alpha (α-MEM) with 10% foetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin solution in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere. The cells were seeded at a cell density of 5x103 cells/well in …
