The mechanism of photodynamic inactivation of human cells in vitro in the presence of haematoporphyrin

Abstract

The photosensitizing effect of haematoporphyrin (HP) on human cells of the established line NHIK 3025 has been studied. Fluorescence measurements show that HP is bound to these cells. Serum proteins also bind HP, and the presence of 10% human serum during incubation with HP (3 X 10(-4)M) reduces the cellular uptake of HP by 75% or more. The photosensitized inactivation is enhanced when the cells are suspended in D2O-buffer during irradiation. This indicates that singlet oxygen is involved in the inactivation. Two findings indicate that the photoinduced damage is repairable: firstly, the fraction of cells surviving a given light dose decreases with decreasing irradiation temperature, and secondly, the survival curves have a shoulder at low exposures of light.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
