XACTAGEN REPORTER GENE ASSAYS IMPROVE DRUG DISCOVERY

 

Xactagen has developed breakthrough technology that now makes reporter gene assays a powerful tool for gene expression in biological research and drug discovery. Proprietary Xactagen reporter cells feature:

•    Reporters integrated into endogenous genes--faithfully reflecting gene expression and

•    Superior sensitivity--optimized for high throughput screening.

Xactagen reporter gene assays can screen siRNAs and compounds to:

•  Identify optimal drug targets through whole genome discovery,

•  Discover the best drug candidates against those targets,

•  Assess in vivo delivery and drug candidate activity, and

•  Detect interactive genes and, ultimately, patients who will benefit most from the drug products.

A reporter gene assay (or reporter cell) has an easily monitored reporter gene attached to a gene of interest so that the expression of that gene can be studied in cell culture, plants, or animals.
