ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides novel compounds that bind selectively to cells undergoing perturbations and alterations of the normal organization of their plasma membrane, while binding to a lesser degree to cells having membranes of normal organization, and their uses as diagnostic probes. Said compounds and methods used therein may be useful in medical practice, for applications such as diagnosis of disease and monitoring of response to therapy.
