CXCR3-GFP knock-in mouse
TS-038221 — A knock-in murine model that expresses high levels
of GFP in CXCR3 positive cells.
Chemokines are typically small, secreted molecules that participate in leukocyte trafficking, recruitment, and activation. They also play roles in normal and pathological processes including allergic responses, infectious and autoimmune disease, angiogenesis, inflammation, and tumor growth and met…

Immunomodulating agents engineered from Notch receptor ligand extracellular domains
TS-036760 — Immunomodulating agents have been engineered from Notch receptor ligand extracelluar domains. These are useful for stimulating the immune system.
The Notch signaling pathway is important in immune cell differentiation and maturation. As a result, it has been shown that Notch receptor signaling can promote or suppress adaptive immune responses depending on the particular ligands and receptors involved. A set of native protein-inspired biolog…

Method to Synthesize Ceratamine A and B and Analogs Thereof
TS-030264 — A chemical process to produce ceratamine A and B.
The natural products ceratamines A and B were isolated from a marine sponge in minute quantities and shown to have potent anti-tumor activity. Due to the insufficient sample size and subsequent lack of availability of the producing sponge, evaluation was incomplete. Thus, the clinical potential ne…

Self-Assembly of Therapeutic-Agent Nanostructures
TS-014812 — An improved delivery mechanism has been developed for hydrophobic drugs such as camptothecin which will increase chemotherapeutic efficacy.
Many cancer therapeutics exhibit extremely toxic side effects or have limited efficacy due to low bio-availability. Existing drug delivery technologies can add excessive mass to the therapeutic, grossly expanding the dosage necessary for response. Camptothecin (CPT) is a naturally occurring compou…
