Abstract(in English) [Introduction]Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a treatment of malignant tumors employing the interaction of photosensitizer with laser light in the presence of molecular oxygen. Recently, some investigations have demonstrated that the PDT possesses immunosupprssion effect. In this study, we estimated the effect of PDT on immunosuppression, as determined by survival of skin allografts, and examined its mechanism from view points of immune cells. [Materials and Methods]Allogeneic skin from BALB/cAN donor mice was transplanted onto the PDT treated recipient C3H/HeN mice. In addition, activated immune cell including activated helper T cell and cytotoxic T cell were detected by flow cytometer. [Results and Discussion]The survival period of skin allografts was prolonged by PDT treatment. This prolongation of allografts survival would be ascribed to the depletion of activated immune cells such as helper T cells or cytotoxic T cells.
