Abstract

A method for introducing a molecule into the cytosol of a cell in which the cell is contacted with a photosensitizing agent, the cell is irradiated with light of a wavelength effective to activate the photosensitizing agent and, substantially at the same time or after the irradiation, the cell is contacted with the molecule to be introduced, particularly for use in cancer treatment, gene therapy and vaccination.
