To study the interaction of the TCR with its ligand, the complex of a MHC molecule and an antigenic peptide, we modified a TCR contact residue of a H-2Kd-restricted antigenic peptide with photoreactive 4-azidobenzoic acid. The photoreactive group was a
Photoreactive insulin was synthesized by coupling with azidobenzoic acid. The insulin derivative was immobilized onto the wells of polystyrene culture plates by photoir-radiation. The photoimmobilized insulin enhanced the growth of anchorage-dependent cells such as Chinese hamster ovary CHO-K1 and mouse
Photoreactive pullulan was prepared, the polymer was photoimmobilized on polymeric or organic surfaces, and its interactions with a protein and a cell type were investigated. The photoreactive pullulan was synthesized by a coupling reaction with 4-azidobenzonic acid. Surface modification was

Hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS), a water-soluble chitosan derivate, was modified by introducing photoreactive azide groups (4-azidobenzoic acid, Az-) to the amino groups of HPCS, resulting in a photocrosslinkable Az-HPCS. Novel porous chitosan scaffolds thus were fabricated by ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation

Grafting of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the surface of polysulfone (PSF) sheets by simultaneous or sequential UV irradiation with 4-azidobenzoic acid as the photocoupler was carried out. Water contact angle measurements showed that there was a great improvement of
