PEPTIDES AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to monovalent fucose-binding peptides. The peptides may be recombinantly produced or chemically synthesized. Preferably the peptides are derived from a lectin, in particular Aleuria aurantia lectin. Furthermore the invention relates to methods for producing the peptides, assays using the peptides for diagnosis of disorders, as well as methods using the peptides for separation and detection of fucose-containing compounds.
