MMP-7 Null Mice

The only MMP-7-null mouse that has been generated. Used to determine biological function of MMP-7. Mice have been used in more than 10 publications at this point, and will be distributed by a commercial vendor in the near future.

HEK-293 Cell Line Containing the Human Norepiephrine Transporter cDNA (Norepi Cell Line)

Mouse Fc-FGF-1

We produced a plasmid containing the Fc portion of mouse IgGl (Fc) coupled to human fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1). The plasmid was transformed into E. coli to express the fusion protein. The fusion protein was purified on a heparin sepharose column which has high affinity for the FGF portion of the fusion protein. The purpose of making this protein was to be able to identify cells that express receptors for FGF using flow cytometry.There are multiple fluorochrome labeled antibodies to mouse IgGl. When the fusion protein is bound to FGF receptors on cells, the Fc portion is on the surface of the cells and can be detected by fluorochrome labeled antibodies to mouse IgGl. Therefore, cells that express FGF receptors and bind the fusion protein can be detected by flow cytometry or immunofluorescence.

mCRTH2 Expression Construct

Integrated Device for Leaching Extraction and Assessment

The invention is a device which permits the direct quantification of leachable organic constituents from within solid materials. It is expected that the device will be used in landfills and in other environments where measurements are central to the evaluation of the environmental compatibility of solid materials (e.g., sediments, soils, solidified waste forms) containing organic constituents that have the potential to degrade water resources of to be taken up by biota and the food chain. The invention is designed to simplify current difficulties in assessing leaching of organic constituents with low aqueous solubility.

Method for Regulation of DNA and RNA Transcription and Translation

Vanderbilt researchers have discovered and patented a means of selectively expressing genes of interest in specific cells. This research tool allows an inactive nucleic acid to be delivered to a specific cell of interest and then the researcher can activate the nucleic acid by exposure to light. This system allows temporal controlled expression over exogenous nucleic acids only in targeted cells or selectively regulating endogenous gene expression.

Cell Line with Stable Expression of Human Skeletal Muscle Sodium Channel (hSkM1)

The invention is a cell line (Human embryonic kidney 293) stably expressing a recombinant human skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel (hSkMl). The cells enable high throughput screening of compounds that modulate sodium channel activity.

Cell Line with Stable Expression of Recombinant Human Skeletal Muscle Chloride Channel (hCIC-1)

The invention is a cell line (Human embryonic kidney 293) stably expressing a recombinant human skeletal muscle chloride channel (hClC-1). The cells enable high throughput screening of compounds that modulate chloride channel activity.

Cell Line with Stable Expression of Human Cardiac Sodium Channel (hH1, a.k.a. hNav1.5, SCN5A)

The invention is a cell line (Human embryonic kidney 293) stably expressing a recombinant human cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel (hHl). The cells enable high throughput screening of compounds that modulate sodium channel activity.

Caden IP Purchase

This invention relates to methods for identifying peptides and other compounds which block or enhance G protein coupled receptor mediated signaling with high affinity and specificity and/or which stabilize a particular conformer of a G protein coupled receptor. Assays, methods of treatment and other methods developed in conjunction with these methods also are disclosed.
