Abstract

Protoporphyrin IX metabolism was studied in the cell proliferation process in chick embryos by measuring photoluminescence. Characteristic emission of protoporphyrin IX at 625 nm was measured under the excitation at 405 nm. It was observed that the relative emission intensity increases during the proliferation process, indicating an increase in the concentration or in the metabolism level of protoporphyrin IX. This model might be used to study the protoporphyrin metabolism during the proliferation process of cancer cells.
