Abstract
Disclosed herein are CCR7 aptamers that specifically bind to and internalize into CCR7-expressing cells. The aptamers can be used as a therapeutic agent by itself or in combination with a small molecule by forming a conjugate with the small molecule. Targeted delivery of the small molecule can be achieved by such conjugates. Also disclosed are methods of treating a subject suffering from cancer by administering an effective amount of the aptamer or the aptamer-small molecule conjugate to the subject.
