| Description | Indocyanine green (Cardiogreen) is a low toxicic fluorescent agent, is a tricarbocyanine dye,has been widely used in medical diagnostics, such as determining cardiac output, hepatic function, and liver blood flow, and for ophthalmic angiography. |
| In vitro | Cardiogreen(ICG-PDT)以1000μg/mL的浓度显著诱导HGF细胞中BAX基因的表达；然而，激光照射及单独的ICG对这些基因的表达无显著影响。单独使用ICG、激光照射以及ICG-PDT处理，在测试组和对照组之间并未观察到BCL-2基因表达的明显变化。 |
