Methods for delivering ligands to a cell by using light to activate fluorescent ligands causing their release from endosomes. The instant methods thus increasing the efficiency of ligands, e.g. in vitro or at localized sites within a subject. The invention provides for the release of ligands by shining a light source on a cell to promote release of ligands into the cell where they can effect their function.
利用光激活荧光配体,使其从内体中释放出来,从而向细胞输送配体的方法。这些方法可以提高配体的效率,例如在体外或在受试者体内的局部位置。本发明通过将光源照射到细胞上,促进配体释放到细胞内,从而发挥其功能。
