Described herein are anti-human Grp94 antibodies. The antibodies may be used to target senescent cells. Thus, the anti-Grp94 antibodies would be useful in treating diseases and conditions associated with cellular senescence. The anti-Grp94 antibodies could target senescent cells in vivo. Therefore, the anti-Grp94 antibodies could be used to target senescent cells associated with age-related diseases in vivo.

Anti-human GRP94 antibodies and uses

A method of targeting a pharmaceutical agent to a senescent cell is disclosed. The method comprises administering the pharmaceutical agent to the subject, wherein said pharmaceutical agent is attached to an affinity moiety, said affinity moiety being capable of binding specifically to a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of HSP90B1, DNAJB4, PI4K2A, DBN1, PRKCSH, SPTBN1, NPM1, ITGA3 and a polypeptide set forth in Table 1. The targeting may be for therapeutics or diagnostics.
