  • Methods of identifying modulators of a DP prostaglandin receptor
    Patent number: 6395499
    Abstract: A human prostaglandin receptor has been identified and DNA encoding the receptor has been isolated, purified, sequenced and expressed in host cells. This DNA encoding the human prostaglandin receptor and host cells expressing the receptor are used to identify modulators of the prostaglandin receptor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2000
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2002
    Assignee: Merck Frosst Canada & Co.
    Inventors: Mark Abramovitz, Kathleen Metters, Yves Boie, Nicole Sawyer, Deborah M. Slipetz
  • DNA encoding prostaglandin receptor DP
    Patent number: 6214972
    Abstract: A novel human DP prostaglandin receptor has been identified and DNA encoding the receptor has been isolated, purified, sequenced and expressed in host cells. This DNA encoding the novel prostaglandin receptor and host cells expressing the receptor are used to identify modulators of the prostaglandin receptor.
