Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been linked to the tumor progression and suppress anti-tumor immunity. Number of TAMs in human tumors correlate with a higher tumor grade and shortened survival for several cancer types. In particular, the perivascular macrophages in tumors have been associated with increased tumor angiogenesis, distant metastasis, poor prognosis, and/or the recurrence of tumors after chemotherapy in various forms of cancer. To identify peptides binding the peritoneal cells of 4T1 breast cancer bearing mice, Teesalu and colleagues performed a phage screen by injecting the CX7C peptide library to the peritoneum of tumor-bearing or healthy mice. After 2 h, the peritoneal cells were isolated, the bound phage were rescued by amplification and subjected to high-throughput sequencing. The CSPGAKVRC peptide (UNO) was the most frequent non-truncated peptide in the pool amplified from the tumor-bearing mice. The GSPGAK motif was detected in physiological ligands of CD206, a marker of M2-skewed macrophages. The authors then showed that UNO bound to the CD206, but interestingly the binding required linearity of the UNO peptide. It was concluded that the glutaredoxin system in the tumor microenvironment may contribute to the reduction of the disulfide-bridged UNO. Intravenously injected fluorescent UNO (FAM-UNO) accumulated in the CD206+ macrophages in 4T1 tumors and in sentinel lymph nodes. In addition, FAM-UNO recognized the CD206+ macrophages in several other tumor models such as intracranial glioblastoma (WT-GBM), metastatic melanoma (B16F10), and peritoneal gastric carcinoma (MKN45-P). Moreover, FAM-UNO was shown to guide cargo to CD206+ macrophages and was proposed as a potential sentinel lymph node imaging agent.

一般情况下， UNO 多肽 (TFA已除) 粉末应该保存在-20甚至-70摄氏度. UNO 多肽 (TFA已除) 溶解后应该-70摄氏度分装保存，避免反复冻融. 了解更多细节，请查阅手册:多肽溶解及保存指南

三氟乙酸（TFA）是一种强酸，常用于从固相树脂中裂解合成的多肽，也可用于提高多肽纯化步骤中的HPLC性能。默认情况下，定制的多肽是以冻干的TFA盐的形式交付的，其中TFA的含量可能高达10-45%。

定制多肽中的TFA可能会导致后续检测数据出现无法解释的差异。例如，nM浓度的TFA已被证明会干扰细胞实验，在某些情况下会抑制细胞增殖，而在其他情况下会增加细胞活力。

TFA去除服务推荐用于:

• 将用于细胞试验的多肽
• 将被用作原料药或制成品的多肽
• 含有大量碱性残基的亲水多肽

干品多肽的重量中不仅仅包含多肽，还包含有一些非肽的组份，如水、被吸收的溶剂、配位离子和盐等。肽的净含量是指肽在其中的重量百分比，这个百分比的数值范围很大，可能从50%到90%，取决于纯度、序列以及合成和纯化的方法，不要将肽的净含量和肽的纯度混为一谈，他们是两个完全不同的概念。纯度通常是通过HPLC测定的。纯度定义的是多肽样品中含正确序列的组分的百分比，而肽的净含量是指样品中肽类物质相对于总物质所占的百分比，肽的净含量通常是氨基酸组分分析或紫外分光法测定的，这个信息主要是在一些对肽的浓度很敏感的实验中，对计算肽的浓度是很重要的。
