  • Publication number: 20220251166
    Abstract: Problems to be solved An objective of the present invention is to provide a molecule which acts specifically in a tissue which is sought to be treated or targeted such as affected tissue, abnormal tissue or the like, but does not or less act in a healthy or normal tissue, which enables to provide a molecule useful for a medicament with reduced adverse effect while conferring significant therapeutic or preventive effect. Means for Solving the Problems A molecule which binds to a component or a portion thereof of a cell which is exposed to a extracellular environment due to a cell death (e.g. a filament or a histone which forms a cytoskeleton or a nuclear skeleton) and acts specifically in a tissue where a cell death is observed such as affected tissue, abnormal tissue or the like is provided.
