Photodynamic action of endogenously synthesized porphyrins from aminolevulinic acid, using a new model for assaying the effectiveness of tumoral cell killing
1. 1. The effectiveness of the photodynamic action of porphyrins, was studied by means of the tissue explant culture technique. A murine tumor tissue explant was incubated in a medium containing 0.6 mM of ALA for periods of 1 and 2 hr; total porphyrins synthesized under these conditions were of the...
