METHOD FOR DETECTION OF COMPOUND INTERACTING WITH MOLECULE LOCATED ON CELL MEMBRANE

摘要

The present invention aims to provide a convenient and low-cost method for detection of a wide variety of compounds interacting with a target molecule located on a cell membrane, using a living cell without need of separating the cell membrane or the like from the cell. The present invention also aims to provide a kit for carrying out the method of the present invention. The method for detection of the compound interacting with the molecule located on the cell membrane in the present invention comprises steps of, allowing a compound having a moiety capable of binding selectively to the molecule located on the cell membrane and a radicalization-promoting moiety, to act on the cell; further allowing a compound having a group capable of being radicalized by the radicalization-promoting moiety and a labeling group, to act on the cell; and identifying the interacting compound bound by the compound radicalized by the radicalization-promoting moiety.
