-
A synthetic, peptide-dye conjugate composed of an undisclosed, proprietary peptide conjugated to a fluorescent dye, that can potentially be used for the intraoperative fluorescence detection and localization of nerve tissue. Upon administration of peptide-dye conjugate ALM-488, the peptide moiety binds to the extracellular matrix of nerves independent of myelin. Upon fluorescence imaging, nerve tissues are illuminated and detected.
