ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of directing a moiety to breast vasculature in a subject by administering to the subject a conjugate which contains a moiety linked to a homing molecule that selectively homes to breast vasculature, whereby the moiety is directed to breast vasculature. In one embodiment, the homing molecule is a peptide containing the amino acid sequence PGPEGAG (SEQ ID NO: 1), or a peptidomimetic thereof.
