Popis: Background: Recently, combination therapy has become a promising approach to overcoming chemotherapy problems. In the present study, we describe a combinational treatment regime using cisplatin (Cis) and imiquimod (IMQ) to increase the antitumor response of the therapy in A549 lung cancer cells. Methods: A549 cells were either treated with increasing concentrations of Cis or IMQ or with Cis-IMQ combinations for 24h. Cell growth inhibition, cell cycle analysis, and inductive apoptosis were evaluated using MTT assay and annexin V assay using flow cytometry, respectively. Kruskal-Wallis was used to analyze differences in cell groups’ means. Results: A549 cell viability was affected by single therapy of Cis and IMQ in a dose and time-dependent manner (P
