摘要:
The invention relates, in part, to compositions and methods that utilize a peptide tag that binds to hyaluronan (HA). The HA tag can be linked to a molecule such as a protein or nucleic acid which, when administered to the eye, results in an increase in ocular half-life and/ or mean residence time, and or a decrease in ocular clearance of the protein or nucleic acid. The invention also encompasses methods for treating ocular disease, including retinal vascular disease, by administering a protein or nucleic acid linked to an HA peptide tag.
摘要:
The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery of peptide tags that increase the half-life and/or mean residence time of proteins or nucleic acids in the eye. In certain aspects the invention peptide tags increase the half-life and/or mean residence time of antibodies and antigen binding fragments, therapeutic proteins, protein receptors, DARPins and/or aptamers in the eye.
