Photodynamic therapy of activated and resting lymphocytes and its antioxidant adaptive response

In this work we have studied the effects of ALA-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) on resting and mitogen-activated murine splenic lymphocytes, evaluating its impact on cell viability. We have also characterised the stress response, measuring the levels of antioxidant enzymes. A 2 h exposure to ALA...
