This study reports the effect of hematoporphyrin derivative 2 (HPD2) on estrogen receptors (ER) in the animal model used to develop the clinical ER assay. Fifty 200-g female Sprague-Dawley rats were given 20 mg of dimethylbenzanthracene by gastric intubation. Spontaneous mammary tumors occurred in 3

Hematoporphyrin derivative phototherapy (HpD-PT) is currently being used experimentally in the treatment of various malignancies. The effectiveness of HpD-PT appears to be limited to superficial malignancies because of its inability to penetrate more than 0.5-1 cm. The mechanism of action has been d
The presence of ER in DMBA-tumors was demonstrated by the use of dextrancharcoal assay, sephadex chromatography, sucrose gradient sedimentation, and organ culture techniques. It was found that tumors have binding sites ranging from 10-" to 10-l' moles/mg protein, and a dissociation constant of ER 10
