Preferential uptake of benzoporphyrin derivative by leukemic versus normal cells. 1990

Benzoporphyrin derivatives (BPDs) are photosensitizers, which fluoresce strongly at 690 nm, and may be candidates for various applications of photodynamic therapy (PDT). Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis, subsequent to ultraviolet light excitation, revealed pronounced differences in red fluorescence between leukemic cell lines (HL60, K562 and L1210), leukemic clinical isolates, and normal human or murine bone marrow cells incubated with BPD. These observed differences in BPD-mediated fluorescence provide the rationale for sorting leukemic from normal cells via FACS or may constitute a novel method for extracorporeal purging of remission marrow by photodynamic therapy in autologous bone marrow transplantation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D009000 Monocytes Large, phagocytic mononuclear leukocytes produced in the vertebrate BONE MARROW and released into the BLOOD; contain a large, oval or somewhat indented nucleus surrounded by voluminous cytoplasm and numerous organelles. Monocyte
D011166 Porphyrins A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin. Porphyrin

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
