  • Publication number: 20030059401
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition for causing photodynamic damage to target cells comprising a photosensitizer, a photosensitizer carrier component, a component which enables target cell recognition and transport of the photosensitizer toward the interior of the target cell by specific receptor-mediated endocytosis, and a component capable of effective targeted transport of the photosensitizer within the target cells. The invention is also related to a method for causing photodynamic damage to target cells comprising the steps of: adding the composition to the cells; keeping the cells at a temperature of normal vital activity of cells with the composition for causing photodynamic damage to the target cells, said composition comprising the above-mentioned components; and exposure of the cells to light.
