Abstract
The targeted delivery of pharmacologically active molecules into the cytosol of mammalian cells is a central goal of experimental pharmacology and pharmacotherapy. By coupling cell-permeable bacterial protein toxins to streptavidin, we generated modular hybrid protein carriers for specific delivery of biotin-labelled molecules into the cytosol of target cells.
