Polyvalent peptide pharmaceutical applications

摘要

High affinity linked, branched or linear repeat peptides containing two or more biological-function domains and at least one medically useful metal ion-binding domain are labeled with medically useful metal ions for use in a variety of diseases and pathologic conditions, including diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Such peptides include high affinity chemotactic peptides containing a biological-function domain which includes at least two linked N-formyl-MLF (SEQ. ID NO. 2) sequences and high affinity repeat and branched peptides containing two or more YIGSR (SEQ. ID NO. 1) sequences.
