Abstract:

Photo Dynamic therapy (PDT) has been widely used to treat various diseases including autoimmune diseases. LASER is mostly in use as the source of light during PDT, but having been aware of laser’s negative effects we propose to use  Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) of variable intensity and wavelength (may be red, white, or Infra red to name a few) as the source of light. The aim of this study is to investigate the cellular response of T-cells after PDT. LEDs of different wavelengths will be chosen to investigate the most appropriate intensity and wavelength that can
