Abstract:
The invention relates to fragments of HC that can be linked with an entity (e.g., an antigen, a particle, or a radionuclide) and used to deliver the entity across a non-keratinized epithelial membrane of an animal. The fragments are useful, for example, for making vaccines, antidotes, and anti-toxins and in situations in which rapid uptake of an agent by an animal is desired.
