The present invention provides vectors for expressing genomic streptavidin
fusion cassettes. In the various embodiments, fusion proteins produced
from these vectors are provided. In particular embodiments, fusion
proteins comprising a single chain antibody and genomic streptavidin are
provided as are vectors encoding the same. Also provided, are methods of
using the fusion proteins of the present invention, and in particular,
the use of scFvSA fusion proteins as diagnostic markers or as a cell
specific targeting agents.
