A peptide consisting of or comprising an amino acid sequence selected from a ) Px1X2X3 T [SEQ.ID.NO.:1]; b) PSX4S [SEQ.ID.NO. :2]; C) QX5X6X7Q [SEQ.ID.NO.:3]; d) SX8S [SEQ-ID.NO.:4], in which X1, X2 and X3, which may be the same or different, each represents an amino acid residue; X2 is preferably N or L; X4 represents an amino acid residue, preferably N or L; X5 and X7, which may be the same or different, each represents an amino acid residue, X6 represents an amino acid residue having an amide side chain; and X8 represent an amino acid having an aliphatic side chain, which peptide binds to dendritic cells and also to other types of cells. The peptide may be used a target non-viral and viral vectors to such cells. |
