Methods to Specifically Profile Protease Activity at Lymph Nodes

In some aspects, the disclosure provides compositions and methods for detecting and monitoring the activity of pro teases in vivo using affinity assays. The disclosure relates, in part, to the discovery that biomarker nanoparticles targeted to the lymph nodes of a subject are useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of certain medical conditions (e.g., metastatic cancer, infection with certain pathogenic agents).
