摘要

PCT No. PCT/SE95/00435 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 22, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 22, 1996 PCT Filed Apr. 21, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/29192 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 2, 1995The invention discloses the use of a new cell growth related peptide. More precisely, the invention serves as a marker for cell proliferation. The marker is a peptide which is an exposed part of a cellular enzyme. This peptide is as well particularly useful as an aid in production of highly selective reactive molecules. The peptide is a part of thymidine kinase TK1 and has the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2.
