  • Patent number: 8088887
    Abstract: The invention provides nucleic acids, peptides, and antibodies for use in applications including diagnosis and therapy. The peptides target neovasculature and were identified by in vivo phage display. One such peptide, SP5-52, recognized the neovasculature of multiple tumors in SCID mice, but did not target normal blood vessels. This peptide also binds to blood vessels of human lung cancer biopsy specimens. Liposomes comprising SP5-52 and doxorubicin enhanced the efficacy of the drug against multiple human cancer xenografts in SCID mice.

  • Patent number: 7238665
    Abstract: The present invention provides a peptide marker targeting to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells and application thereof. The peptide binds specifically to the cell surface of NPC cells. After conjugated with liposome containing chemotherapeutic drugs, such peptides deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to the tumor cells specifically and destruct tumor cells without damaging normal tissues and organs. Furthermore, such peptide is applied as a detector in the development of NPC diagnosis kit.
