  • Adenoviral based promoter assay
    Patent number: 6395473
    Abstract: Adenoviral vectors are used to transfer a promoter/reporter gene construct to mammalian cell cultures. The promoter/reporter gene construct is used to determine if a candidate inducing agent has promoter-inducing activity; or can be used to determine if a candidate promoter has activity in the presence of a known inducer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 7, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2002
    Assignee: Merck & Co., Inc.
    Inventors: Karen Richards, Thomas H. Rushmore, Manal A. Morsy
  • Methods of identifying modulators of human IP prostaglandin receptor
    Patent number: 6365360
    Abstract: A novel 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.
