  • Patent number: 6955888
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of screening agents, conjugates or conjugate moieties, linked or linkable to agents, for capacity to be transported as substrates through the PEPT2 transporter. The invention also provides methods of treatment involving delivery of agents that either alone, or as a result of linkage to a conjugate moiety, are substrates of the PEPT2 transporter. The invention also provides conjugates comprising a pharmaceutical agent which is linked to a conjugate moiety that is a substrate for a PEPT2 transporter.

  • Publication number: 20040161424
    Abstract: The invention provides several new transporter proteins, nucleic acids encoding them and methods of using the transporters to screen agents, conjugates or conjugate moieties, linked or linkable to agents, for capacity to be transported as substrates through the transporters. The invention also provides methods of treatment involving oral delivery of agents that either alone, or as a result of linkage to a conjugate moiety, are substrates of one of the transporter.

  • Publication number: 20020192690
    Abstract: Reagents and methods for detecting target proteins in a sample are provided. The reagents include a replicable genetic package, a protein displayed on an exterior surface of the package that is expressed from a heterologous nucleic acid borne by the package, and one or more antibodies complexed with the expressed protein and which have an open binding site for a target protein. Thus, a segment of the nucleic acid encodes for an epitope that is shared by the expressed polypeptide and the target protein. The reagents can be utilized individually or as part of a library or an array to bind target proteins within protein samples to form one or more complexes. By determining the sequence of the segment of the heterologous nucleic acid of a package within a complex, one can identify the target protein since the segment encodes for an epitope that is shared by the expressed and target proteins.
