The comparative susceptibility of DNA- and RNA-type viruses to photodynamic inactivation has not yet been clearly addressed. In this study the effect of the tricationic porphyrin Tri-Py(+)-Me-PF on the inactivation of four DNA and three RNA non-enveloped phages was compared. The results obtained show that the photodynamic efficiency varied with the phage type, the RNA-type phages being much more easily photoinactivated than the DNA-type ones.
DNA 型和 RNA 型病毒对光动力失活的相对敏感性尚未得到明确解决。在这项研究中,比较了三阳离子卟啉 Tri-Py(+)-Me-PF 对四种 DNA 和三种 RNA 非包膜噬菌体失活的影响。结果表明,光动力效率随噬菌体类型的不同而变化,RNA 型噬菌体比 DNA 型噬菌体更容易光灭活。
