Evolution of KIPPIS as a versatile platform for evaluating intracellularly functional peptide aptamers

Abstract Chimeric proteins have been widely used to evaluate intracellular protein–protein interactions (PPIs) in living cells with various readouts. By combining an interleukin-3-dependent murine cells and chimeric proteins containing a receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit, we previously established a c-...
