Claim:
1. A composition comprising a linear peptide and a moiety, wherein the linear peptide comprises an amino acid sequence that can bind to a carbohydrate receptor on a cell, wherein: the amino acid sequence comprises IFLLWQRX (SEQ ID NO:25), IFLLWQRXX (SEQ ID NO:26), IFLLWQRXXX (SEQ ID NO:27), IFLLWQRXXXX (SEQ ID NO:20), or IFLLWQRXXXXX (SEQ ID NO:28), wherein the subsequence IFLLWQR (amino acids 1 to 7 of SEQ ID NO:28) in the amino acid sequence is an annexin-1 binding compound and has one or more conservative amino acid substitutions, wherein each X can independently be selected from all, any set of 8, any set of 7, any set of 6, any set of 5, any set of 4, any set of 3, any set of 2, or any 1 of the amino acids R, S, T, H, D, E, N and Q, wherein the linear peptide is a targeting peptide and wherein the moiety is selected from the group consisting of detectable agents and therapeutic agents.
