POLYPEPTIDE-POLYNUCLEOTIDE-COMPLEX AND ITS USE IN TARGETED EFFECTOR MOIETY DELIVERY

摘要

Herein is reported a polypeptide-polynucleotide-complex as therapeutic agent and its use as tool for the targeted delivery of an effector moiety. The polynucleotide part of the complex is essentially resistant to proteolytic and enzymatic degradation in vivo. Additionally the polypeptide part specifically binds to a compound or structure such as a tissue or organ, a process or a disease. Thus, one aspect as reported herein is a polypeptide-polynucleotide-complex comprising a) a polypeptide specifically binding to a target and conjugated to a first member of a binding pair, b) a polynucleotide linker conjugated at its first terminus to the second member of the binding pair, and c) an effector moiety conjugated to a polynucleotide that is complementary to at least a part of the polynucleotide linker.
