The present invention relates to a target specific composition for a photothermal therapy and a photothermal therapy method using the composition and, more specifically, to a photothermal therapy method for selectively killing an inflammatory cell by using a target specific composition for a photothermal therapy including a dextran-coated carbon nanotube. According to the present invention, the composition for a photothermal therapy including a dextran-coated carbon nanotube is absorbed only in an inflammatory cell, which is a wanted target cell, to cause a photothermal therapeutic reaction by a light radiated from an external light source, and does not damage cells except for the inflammatory cell. The photothermal therapy method using the composition for photothermal therapy minimizes side effects, and maximizes a therapeutic effect. |
