Abstract

DNA sequences derived from a phosphatidylinositol-linked form of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 ("LFA-3") are provided which code for a phosphatidylinositol linkage signalling sequence. The linkage signalling sequence may be linked to DNA coding for secretory proteins or polypeptides to obtain phosphatidylinositol-linked chimeric proteins or polypeptides. The chimeric proteins can be used to produce targeted drugs, to form micellular or liposomal drug delivery systems, or to improve the purification or screening of particular cells, proteins or DNA libraries.
