Title:
COMPOSITIONS FOR LABELING NERVES AND METHODS OF USE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/031250
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for guiding preservation of neurons or nerves during surgery by administering a fluorescently-labeled peptide that associates with (e.g., specifically binds to) the neurons or nerves. The invention further provides targeting molecules of fluorescently-labeled peptides or aptamers that associate with (e.g., specifically bind to) neurons or nerves and for compositions thereof.
