Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising a synthetic peptidoglycan comprising a glycan and 1 to 20 synthetic peptides conjugated to the glycan, wherein each synthetic peptide is 5 to 40 amino acids in length and comprises a hyaluronic acid-binding amino acid sequence, wherein the glycan is selected from the group consisting of dextran, chondroitin, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan, dermatan sulfate, heparan, heparin, keratin, keratan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid;
 wherein each peptide comprises an amino acid sequence of the formula B1-X1-X2-X3-X4-X5-X6-X7-X8-B2,   wherein X8 is present or is not present,   wherein B1 is a basic amino acid,   wherein B2 is a basic amino acid, and   wherein X1-X8 are non-acidic amino acids;   wherein the composition does not comprise a collagen-binding synthetic peptidoglycan.   
     
     
         3 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising a synthetic peptidoglycan of the formula (P n L) x G
 wherein n is 1 to 20;   x is 1 to 20;   L is a linker having an approximate molecular weight of about 20 to about 500 Da; and   P is a synthetic peptide of:   (i) amino acid sequence:
