Probing the unknown: The immunoproteasome, an alternative form of the constitutive proteasome, has been implicated in a number of pathological states such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. In an effort to understand the role of the immunoproteasome in cells, the first immunoproteasome-specific near-infrared fluorescent probe has been developed.
免疫蛋白酶体是组成型蛋白酶体的一种替代形式,与许多病理状态有关,如癌症和自身免疫性疾病。为了了解免疫蛋白酶体在细胞中的作用,研究人员开发了第一个免疫蛋白酶体特异性近红外荧光探针。
