(A) The PDT device. (a,b) An Na-Li lamp was used as a light source along with a 37 °C water filter, a fan to prevent increases in specimen temperature. (c) For the whole blood PDT experiments, whole blood was circulated using a Perista-pump during light exposure. (B) Accumulation of PpIX in TLOm1 cells after incubation with 1 mM ALA. (a,b) 0 mM ALA, (c,d) 1 mM ALA, (a,c) Phase-contrast microscope, (b,d) Fluorescent microscope. Bar indicates 15 µm. Strong PpIX fluorescence in TLOm1 cells was observed only after incubation with 1 mM ALA. (C,D) Dose-response experiments. Dose response of 5ALA from 0–1.0 mM against PpIX fluorescence in TLOm1 cells. (E,F) Time course experiments. Incubation time dependence of PpIX fluorescence in TLOm1 cells after addition of 1 mM ALA to culture medium.
