Abstract
Provided here in are methods and compositions for delivering a payload molecule to a charged avascular tissue or charged partially vascularized tissue in a subject, the method including administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a carrier, wherein the carrier is a cationic carrier and/or has a surface charge distribution such that about 40% or greater of a continuous region of the surface is positively charged, and wherein the carrier is linked with a payload molecule, to deliver the payload molecule to the charged avascular tissue and/or the charged partially vascularized tissue.
Claims12
A method for delivering a payload molecule to a charged avascular tissue and/or a charged partially vascularized tissue in a subject, comprising:
- intrasynovially administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a carrier, wherein the carrier is an engineered green fluorescence protein (GFP) having an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 5;
- and
- wherein the carrier is linked with a payload molecule, to deliver the payload molecule to the charged avascular tissue and/or the charged partially vascularized tissue.
