FLUORESCENT PORPHYRIN, AND FLUORESCENT PHTHALOCYANINE-POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL, POLYOL, AND SACCHARIDE DERIVATIVES AS FLUORESCENT PROBES

摘要

Marker components are provided which are compatiblewith aqueous solutions, exhibit favorable fluorescence propert-ies and exhibit decreased non-specific binding to macromole-cules in solution. These marker components are useful in appli-cations such as fluorescence immunoassays, in vivo imagingand in vivo tumor therapy.
