| abstract |
The invention relates, in part, to compositions and methods that utilize a peptide tag that binds to hemagglutanin (HA). The HA tag can be linked to a molecule such as a protein or nucleic acid which, when administered to the eye, results in an increase in ocular half-life and/or mean residence time, and or a decrease in ocular clearance of the protein or nucleic acid. The invention also encompasses methods for treating ocular disease, including retinal vascular disease, by administering a protein or nucleic acid linked to an HA peptide tag. |
