KIST/PU Phage Display Selection of Tissue-Specific Homing Peptides and their Theragnostic Applications
Online Presentations | 23 Oct 2007 | Contributor(s): Byung-Heon Lee
Several homing peptides that are specific to tumor cells, artherosclerotic plaques, stroke lesion, apoptotic cells and phosphatidylserine have been isolated by phage display in our laboratory. For example, the Bld-1 peptide is specific to bladder tumor cells and the AP-1 to atherosclerotic...
