Abstract
Antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof that specifically recognize and bind an epitope of elastin that is exposed and accessible in degraded elastic fiber are described. The antibodies and/or antigen binding fragments can be operably linked to a secondary component, including biologically active agents such as therapeutics and/or imaging agents. Optionally, the antibodies and/or antigen binding fragments thereof can be attached to a surface of a carrier, such as a particle, for specific binding and delivery of the carried agents to degraded elastic fiber.
