The fluorescence properties of hematoporphyrin (Hp) and its derivative (HpD) were investigated in leukemia cells and in normal lymphocytes under a microscope, and the results were compared with those in solution. The spectra and the time behaviour of Hp (or HpD) fluorescence in living cells were fou

β¦ Synopsis
Different fluorescence spectra are observed on preferential excitation of monomer and aggregate species of hematoporphyrin and hematoporphyrindiacetate, respectively. From these measurements we obtain the fluorescence spectrum of aggregate species in buffer solution, which shows two maxima, at 628 nm and around 700 nm. The fluorescence intensity in the region between these maxima is very sensitive to environmental changes.
It is suggested that the changes in the fluorescence of hematoporphyrin in viva as compared with that in buffer solution is associated with both hematoporphyrin-substrate interactions and an enhanced contribution from aggregate species.

Laser excitation of hematoporphyrin derivatives (HPD) localizing in tumors of the tracheobronchial tree and bladder is useful in the identification and treatment of those tumors. A comparable utility for HPD in the endoscopic localization of colonic tumors may be possible. In this study the ability
A blue-shift of the emission spectrum of hematoporphyrin and of its derivatives used in tumor phototherapy is shown to occur in water solutions. After 48 h incubation at 37Β°C. this emission becomes predominant, particularly in derivatives with a high degree of aggegdtion, and is characterized by a d
