Translation Regulated (TR)-Mediated Gene Expression: Novel Expression and Reporter Vectors

Background: Often referred to as the crucial "drug discovery tool", cell based technology is one of the most significant sectors of pharmaceutical research and development. Of particular importance has been the development of information-rich cellular assays that determine drug candidate efficacy and safety (target identification, valida...

GlyB4 Fusion with Neuregulin Heparin-Targeting Domain to Block Neuregulin Signaling

We have harnessed this natural targeting ability of NRG by fusing the HBD of NRG to soluble HER4. This fusion protein retains high affinity heparin binding to heparin and to cells that express heparan sulfates resulting in a more potent NRG antagonist. In vivo, it is targeted to peripheral nerve segments where it blocks the activity of NRG as a Sch...
