Effect of Argon Laser Irradiation on Cultured Cell (I)

Abstract

Effect of argon laser irradiation on cultured cell was investigated. From the point of morphological and growth curve examination, Argon laser irradiation alone did not make any significant change at energy density tested this time.(1.6-102.0 J/cm² )
Argon laser irradiation on Acridine Orange pretreated cells showed marked suppression of growth and cell death at the moderate concentrations of AO (1μg/ml).
The mechanism of combined AO and Laser irradiation is unknown but nucleic acid and lysosomal level damage is suspected.
