## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The authors previously observed that antiangiogenic scheduling of photodynamic therapy (PDT) was effective in causing tumor regression through hemostasis. It would thus be expected that photosensitizer entrapped in polycation liposomes (PCLs) would be efficiently taken up

Coupling of photosensitizers to tumor-selective monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) is an attractive option for improving the selectivity of photodynamic therapy (PDT). For this purpose, hydrophilic sensitizers would be most suitable because of their solubility in water. However, such sensitizers are known
We previously demonstrated that gene replacement of mouse macrophage metalloelastase (MME) into murine melanoma cells that grow rapidly and are MME deficient suppresses the primary tumor growth in vivo by halting angiogenesis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of gene th
