Abstract excerpt
To better understand the effects of p53 on the process of photodynamic therapy (PDT)-induced cell death, we introduced a wild-type p53 gene into the HT29 colorectal carcinoma cell line, which bears an endogenous mutant p53, using a lipofectin system. The influence of p53 status on the sensitivity induced by 2-butylamino-2-demethoxy-hypocrellin A (2-BA-2-DMHA) photosensitization was then examined. The results...
