  • Whole cell assay
    Publication number: 20060141448
    Abstract: This invention relates to newly developed methods for discovering therapeutic compounds using a cell-based assay system. This invention also relates to compositions of matter useful in carrying out the methods of the invention as well as therapeutic compounds developed using such methods.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 15, 2006
    Publication date: June 29, 2006
    Inventors: Frank Fan, Yinduo Ji, Howard Kallender, Tong Li, Damien McDevitt
  • Method of generating conditionally expressed mutant cells using expressible antisense sequences
    Publication number: 20050095643
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining pathogen sensitivity to varying levels of reduction of a gene product using an expression vector system having a promoter that is essentially off in vitro and turns on selectively during the infection process in vivo. Genes and gene products identified by this method as essential to growth of infection of a selected pathogen are also provided. In addition, therapeutic compositions designed to target genes identified by this method are provided.
