Enzyme-targeted fluorescent imaging probes on multiple antigenic peptide core have been developed

Published in Medical Imaging Law Weekly, September 19th, 2006

Scientists have developed enzyme-targeted fluorescent imaging probes on a multiple antigenic peptide core.

According to researchers writing in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, "Peptide dendrimers have a variety of applications in biology such as the vehicles for drug and gene delivery, molecular inhibitors, protein mimics, and synthetic vaccines. The multiple antigenic peptide (MAP) system is a well-known example of a discrete, dendrimeric scaffold. We explored a novel application of the MAP-based scaffold by designing molecular probes that fluoresce only after enzymatic treatment."

"The probes, which were synthesized on solid support,...
