Full spectroscopic characterization of this dendritic-type compound as well as certain of its precursors is reported.Keywords: Antigens; Cells; Chelation; Dendrimers; Spectroscopic analysis; Tumors; Anti-tumour responses; Dendritic-type compound; Liposomes; Membrane-penetrating; Plasma membrane; Lipids200610.1071/CH061122015-12-12
