  • 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
  • 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 16, 1998
