摘要：
The invention provides methods for selective targeting of live cells, which have undergone or are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy, at a site of interest with a cell-penetrating polypeptide. In one embodiment of the invention, the method comprises contacting the live cells with a cell-penetrating polypeptide comprising cell-penetrating determinants so that the cell-penetrating polypeptide binds extracellular DNA near or around the live cells so as to form a complex or association therewith such that the complex or associated polypeptide-DNA so bound bind the live cells and penetrates the live cells thereby selectively targeting live cells at a site of interest with a cell-penetrating polypeptide.
