Title:
HMGN2 PEPTIDES AND RELATED MELECULES THAT SELECTIVELY HOME TO TUMOR BLOOD VESSELS AND TUMOR CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003087124
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a conjugate which contains a therapeutic moiety linked to a homing molecule that selectively homes to tumor blood vessels and tumor cells and that specifically binds the receptor bound by peptide KDEPQRRSARLSAKPAPPKPEPKPKKAPAKK (SEQ ID NO: 9). Methods of directing a conjugate of the invention to tumor blood vessels and tumor cells and of using a conjugate to treat cancer also are provided.
