title: Investigation of the usefulness of the photodynamic reaction for the purging of bone marrow from metastatic neuroblastoma cells.
abstract: The neuroblastoma cell lines SK-N-LO, SK-PN-DW and IMR 5 were stained with Merocyanine 540 and exposed to white light. 99% of clonogenic tumour cells were destroyed while 60% of bone marrow progenitor cells survived this treatment.
