Gap Junctional Intercellular Communication is not a Major Mediator in the Bystander Effect in Photodynamic Treatment of MDCK II Cells

摘要

Photodynamic treatment (PDT) of confluent MDCK II cells resulted in a noticeable clustering of dead cells, consistent with a significant bystander effect. Likewise, PDT of cells in microcolonies resulted in an overabundance of microcolonies that ha
