A method of killing cells of a targeted cell type in a patient body that utilizes nanoparticles (10) having a first portion (12), which when exposed to a target portion (14) of a targeted cell type (16), binds to the target portion and a second portion (10A), joined to the first portion, and comprised of a low resistivity material. The nanoparticles are introduced into a contact area where they contact cells of the targeted cell type. Contemporaneously, the contact area is exposed to a varying magnetic field of insufficient strength to increase the temperature of any part of the patient body by more than ten degrees Celsius, but which creates a current (20) at the nanoparticles sufficient to disrupt function of the targeted cell type. |
