Abstract

The advent of ligand based receptor capture methodologies, allows the identification of unknown receptor candidates for orphan extracellular ligands. However, further target validation can be tedious, laborious and time consuming. Here, we present a methodology that provides a fast and costefficient alternative for candidate target verification on living cells for a peptide, a protein and an antibody.
