Embodiment 1
[0116] Until recently, no systemic approach to targeting intracellular / subcellular components has been reported. Appropriate FOX-Three technology is a platform for the systematic discovery of MGS capable of delivering MAbs to cellular and subcellular targets. The FOX-Three platform identifies MGS with three key attributes: the ability to home in on desired cell types, the ability to trigger cellular uptake, and the ability to deliver payloads to discrete locations within target cells. exist figure 1 An overview of MGS is shown in .
[0117] The FOX-Three platform is based on an established phage display library containing 10 9 -10 12 A candidate peptide-based MGS member that can be rapidly screened against target cells and subcellular systems to identify specifically targeted MGS ( figure 2 ). Peptides are a well-known class of biomolecules that are readily synthesized both by biological methods and by man-made chemical methods. Thus, the capabilities of the FOX-Three p...

[0134] MGS can impact the treatment of a variety of diseases and open up new treatment options. Targeting protein interactions leads to a new class of intracellularly acting drugs with the potential to treat "undruggable" targets. Treatment indications include cancer, emerging infectious diseases and bioterrorism, cardiac disease, diabetes, fibrosis, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. MGS has broad applicability and can be used to deliver small molecule drugs, imaging agents, nucleic acid and protein delivery, nanoparticles and cell therapy.
[0135] Small peptide-MGS delivers large mAbs into cells in vitro and in vivo. Small peptides will not be able to carry MAbs that are almost 60 times larger than their molecular weight. Cells were treated with MAb only, no cellular uptake occurred. However, a 20-4000-fold increase in cellular uptake was observed when the MAb was conjugated to one of the identified MGS peptides. Not only does the peptide deliver a cell-imperm...
