Abstract:
1. A method for detecting a PNOM-cell within a cell population, comprising the steps of: (i) contacting the cell population with a compound or a conjugate comprising said compound, wherein said compound is represented by the structure as set forth in formula (I):  including pharmaceutically acceptable salts, metal chelates, solvates and hydrates of the compound represented by the structure as set forth in formula (I) and solvates and hydrates of the salts; wherein, R represents hydrogen or C n and m each stands for an integer of 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, n and m may be the same or different; M is null; and D is a marker for diagnostics; and wherein said alkylene groups bound to M or D; and, (ii) determining the amount of said compound bound to cells in said cell population, wherein a significant amount of said compound bound to said cells indicates its being a PNOM-cell.
