Abstrakt: Native fluorescence emission and excitation spectra of SV40 infected human keratinocytes, A431 and SCC324 carcinoma cells, and normal human keratinocytes were measured and compared. A difference in the intracellular metabolic state of NADH was found between the normal cells and the cancer or virus-transformed cells. The observed difference, namely an increased proportion of bound, mitochondrial NADH in the cancer and virus-infected cells, manifests as a blue spectral shift in the emission spectra.
