Ukrain (NSC 631570) autofluorescence in UV light

Yellow fluorescence of Ukrain in tumour tissue.
Pathological sample (gastric adenocarcinoma) under UV light, 12 hours after 20 mg Ukrain i.v. injection.
Lymphatic nodes of the same patient show fluorescent points. Examination revealed malignant tissue at these locations, next to unaffected tissue. Exulcerated mamma-ca in 58 year-old patient. After the first injection with Ukrain visible fluorescence in the tumour area.
Straight to the heart – Ukrain targets malignant tumour cell nuclei.
