  • Immunoadhesin comprising a glycoprotein VI domain
    Patent number: 7531178
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fusion protein comprising (1) the extracellular domain of glycoprotein VI or a variant thereof that is functional for binding to collagen and (b) the Fc domain of the immunoglobulin or a function-conservative part thereof, characterized by a polypeptide chain having an amino acid sequence as shown in FIG. 7 and whereby the fusion protein is obtainable by a process which provides the fusion protein in the form of a specific dimer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 10, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2009
    Assignee: Trigen GmbH
    Inventors: Steffen Massberg, Meinrad Gawaz, Andreas Bültmann, Götz Münch, Martin Ungerer, Mario Peluso

  • Method for generating recombinant human platelets for identifying therapeutic target proteins
    Publication number: 20050086710
    Abstract: A composition is provided comprising patelets having a combination of the following modifications: a) a modification of the protein constituents of the platelets which is obtained or obtainable by genetic modification of platelet precursor cells; b) incorporation of a detectable label into said platelet; whereby the functions of modification a) and b) are mutually independent. Further, methods of determining platelet functions, notably aggregation and adhesion to endothelial cells are provided. Further, a novel method of preparing transgenic or modified platelets is provided.
