Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure concern methods and compositions for delivering therapeutic, diagnostic or interventional moieties, such as complex and simple entities such as biologies, including at least cells, for example. The methods employ targeted delivery by employing at least one ALCAM-binding moiety on the therapeutic, diagnostic or interventional moiety to be delivered. In specific cases, the ALCAM-binding moiety is present on or with the therapeutic moiety in multiple iterations. In certain embodiments, the ALCAM-binding moiety comprises at least one SRCR domain from CD6 and a stalk, such as from CD6, of the secretable or molecular form thereof.
Claims37
A therapeutic, diagnostic, or interventional composition comprising
- a) at least one therapeutic moiety;
- said moiety operably linked to
- b) an activated leukocyte adhesion molecule (ALCAM)-binding moiety, wherein the ALCAM-binding moiety comprises at least one D3 region of the cluster of differentiation 6 (CD6) scavenger receptor cysteine rich (SRCR) domain and at least one CD6 stalk domain.
A therapeutic composition comprising
- a) at least one therapeutic moiety;
- said moiety operably linked to one or more of
- b) adhesion molecule binding moiety.
