Abstract :
Photosensitization of quantum dots was activated with a LED light source (410nm) delivered at 5mw/cm2 to give a different dose by altering the radiation period. Cellular proliferative activity and apoptosis was measured using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. After four hours following photodynamic treatment, the degree of apoptosis was significantly increased, and the best experimental parameters of inactivation of leukemic HL60 cells in vitro, 2.0×10-6 mol/l (the concentration of QDs), 18J/cm2 (the radiation dose), were obtained.
