Cross-resistance to photofrin-mediated photodynamic therapy and UV light and recovery from photodynamic therapy damage in Rif-8A mouse fibrosarcoma cells measured using viral capacity
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilizes the localized delivery of light to activate a photosensitizing drug (such as Photofrin) which is selectively retained by the tumour tissues. The intrinsic in vitro sensitivity of tumour cells to PDT is thought to be an important determinant of clinical tumour response to PDT. In this work we show the feasibility of using a viral capacity assay for adenovirus (Ad) DNA synthesis as an indicator of cellular …
