| Description: |
The invention provides a simple, yet sensitive method for identifying PAR cleaving molecules by detecting a released reporter molecule. The detection of released reporter molecule allows for the quantitative and sensitive detection of PAR cleaving molecules. |
| Applications: |
Assays amenable to high through-put technologies allowing the identification of agonists or antagonists based on their ability to cleave a PAR cleavage peptide. The assays have the advantage over prior art methods in that they provide a positive reading, are highly sensitive and provide reliable, quantifiable measurements. |
| Status: |
Granted EP (1238283) and US (7029877). Validated in AT, BE, CH, CY, DE, DK, ES, FI, FR, GB, GR, IE, IT, NL, PT, SE and TR. |
