Abstract
Methods and compositions for evaluating the affinity of one or more ligands of interest are provided. In particular, a ligand sensor device (LSD) comprising a sensor coupled to a peptide of interest is provided. Assays using the LSD allow detection of ligand-peptide interactions directly in tissue samples and thus provide an in vitro assay to characterize peptide ligands. The LSD and assays find particular use in characterizing cell-specific peptides isolated from in vivo screening in animals to determine their suitability for use in human therapy.
