IN VIVO METHOD FOR THE EVALUATION OF A COMPOUND-TARGET INTERACTION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for evaluation of a compound-target interaction in vivo, comprising the steps of administering the compound to an animal, taking a body fluid sample of the animal, determining the concentration of the compound in the body fluid sample, taking a cellular sample of the animal containing the target, preparing a protein preparation of said cellular sample, providing an immobilised ligand capable of binding to the target, contacting the protein preparation with the immobilised ligand under conditions allowing the formation of a complex between the immobilised ligand and the target, determining the amount of complexes formed in step, and correlating the amount of complexes with the concentration of the compound in the body fluid sample.
