The present invention relates to a method of delivering an agent to a cancer cell, comprising: (a) obtaining a peptide that selectively binds to a cancer cell, wherein the peptide comprises a cancer targeting motif having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the peptide is attached or fused to an agent that one desires to target to a cancer cell; and (b) exposing the peptide to a population of cells suspected of containing cancer cells. The present invention also relates to a kit for applying the above method, comprising a peptide that binds to a cancer cell, wherein the peptide comprises a cancer targeting motif having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. |
