Abstract
Disclosed is a synthetic, non-naturally occurring 12-amino acid peptide, Lung-specific Targeting Peptide, belonging to the larger class of cell penetrating peptides, for delivery of both diagnostic and potentially therapeutic agents to the lung. Also disclosed are methods of treating pulmonary disease, e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma, primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), cystic fibrosis (CF), and lung cancer.
