Receptor-mediated targeting of cathepsins in professional antigen presenting cells

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2009;48(9):1629-32. doi: 10.1002/anie.200805529.

Abstract

Tag for professionals: A fluorescently tagged clustered mannoside DCG-04 analogue (see structure) is designed and synthesized using a modular approach. Uptake of the probe in professional antigen presenting cells and subsequent labeling of cathepsins proceeded in a mannose-receptor dependent manner.
