Photodynamic therapy may induce in the in vivo conditions the cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha in Buffalo rats. The sensitizer, i.e. chlorin e6, in the doses 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 mg/kg of body weight followed by light treatment with total doses 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 J/cm2 resulted in the increase of serum levels of the cytokine. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha have been determined at different time points using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In control animals these levels did not exceed the mean value of 189 pg/ml, whereas in photodynamically treated rats the levels were almost 3-4 times higher. The entire experiment has been carried out on healthy animals; control, tumor-bearing rats have also been included to the present experiment.
