Carbohydrate binding domain containing fusion proteins for delivery of therapeutic and other agents as well as compositions containing the fusion proteins

摘要

A pharmaceutical or agrochemical composition or kit of parts comprises (1) a micro-particle or micro-capsule comprising at least one pharmaceutical or agrochemical benefit agent and (2) a fusion protein which comprises a first binding domain which is a carbohydrate binding domain and at least one additional binding domain capable of binding to (a) a ligand or specific site which forms part of a living organism, or (b) said microcapsule or micro-particle, wherein the first or second binding domain is capable of binding to said microcapsule or microparticle. The fusion protein itself may also be used for therapeutic or agrochemical purposes.
