EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE CYTOTOXICITY OF HAEMATOPORPHYRIN DERIVATIVE AND LIGHT IN DIFFERENT WAVE-BANDS ON HUMAN TUMOR CELL LINE / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Department of Pathological Anatomy of Second Military Medical College Photosensitive reaction of HPD and its cytotoxic action were studied, focussing on the spectral effect of the irradiating light. A human hepatocarcinoma cell line(SMMC-7721)with HPD was used. Killing effects on tumor cells after irradiation of light in three different wave-bands were observed, both qualitatively and quantitatively.Results were compared with those of Kinsey and Matsushima.
