Title:
METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR IDENTIFYING PEPTIDE APTAMERS CAPABLE OF ALTERING A CELL PHENOTYPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003040168
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides methods and compositions for screening and identifying of peptide aptamers that can modulate a cell phenotype and further, can be used for the treatment of a disease involving a misregulated cell phenotype, such as, for example, a cancer. The invention encompasses methods and compositions for producing cyclic peptide aptamers, including peptide aptamers comprising a conotoxin sequence, having improved stability and bioactivity. The invention also provides methods and compositions for improved gene delivery and expression of a peptide aptamer in cell.
