  • Methods of identifying a modulator that inhibits the binding between Epstein-Barr virus induced receptor 2 and cholesterol derived ligands
    Patent number: 8497075
    Abstract: The present invention relates to modulators of the interaction between Epstein-Barr Virus induced receptor-2 (EBi2) and cholest-5-ene-3b,7b,25-triol (7,25-dihydroxycholesterol) (“7,25DHC”) and/or cholest-5-ene-3b, 7b-diol (7-hydroxycholesterol) (“7HC”). The modulator maybe a small chemical molecule, antibody or other therapeutic protein. Methods of medical treatment and methods of identifying modulators are also described.

  • Proton-sensing g-protein coupled receptors and dna sequences thereof
    Publication number: 20070092527
    Abstract: This invention relates to the newly identified utility of certain G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), in particular to OGR1, GPR4 and TDAG8 (TDAG8 is also named GPR65) polypeptides, and polynucleotides encoding such GPCR polypeptides, to their use in diagnosis and to methods of identifying compounds that are agonists or antagonists to said GPCRs, and to the production of such polypeptides and polynucleotides.
