ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a method for activating receptors selected from receptor tyrosine kinases, cytokine receptors and members of the nerve growth factor receptor superfamily. A conjugate comprising the direct fusion of at least two ligands capable of binding to the receptor(s) to be activated is contacted with the receptors, whereby the ligands bind their respective receptors inducing receptor oligomerization.
