Project Details
TFB 17: Internalisierung von heptahelikalen Rezeptoren und deren Liganden - Anwendung in der bildgebenden Diagnostik
Subject Area
Biology
Term
from 1999 to 2002
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5483887
The goal of this applied research project is to develop and optimize diagnostic imaging techniques that are based on the principle of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Transfer centre 17 is a derivative of the collaborative research centre 366 "Cellular Signal Recognition and Signal Transduction". Our expertise in the fields of endocytosis, peptide labelling and dye development will be utilized to develop labelled ligands for peptide receptors (especially somatostatin and VIP receptors) for scintigraphic and optical diagnostics.
