Targeting of T/Tn antigens with a plant lectin to kill human leukemia cells by photochemotherapy.
Photochemotherapy is used both for solid tumors and in extracorporeal treatment of various hematologic disorders. Nevertheless, its development in oncology remains limited, because of the low selectivity of photosensitizers (PS) towards human tumor cells. To enhance PS efficiency, we recently covale...

Photochemotherapy is used both for solid tumors and in extracorporeal treatment of various hematologic disorders.
