Abstract

Tuftsin receptor-specific peptides, peptidomimetics and peptide-like constructs are provided, particularly for use in biological, pharmaceutical and radiopharmaceutical applications, in which the peptide, peptidomimetic or construct is conformationally fixed on complexation of the metal ion-binding portion thereof with a metal ion, resulting in a peptide, peptidomimetic or construct with increased affinity for the tuftsin receptor.
