  • Abstract
    Photofrin® distributes dynamically in A431 cells; the plasma membranes and Golgi complex are the main target sites of Photofrin® after a brief (3 h) and prolonged (24 h) incubation, respectively. Cells with differentially localized Photofrin® displayed distinct death phenotypes in response to PDT.
