Cytotoxicity-Based Genetic Selection for Targeted Drug Screening
Applications
Screening method for drug discovery and investigating protein-protein interactions.
Technical Summary
Drug discovery is typically dependant on screening methods that involve negative selection, or the death of cell cultures when exposed to a specific drug. This invention, a cytoxicity-based genetic selection method (TOXSEL), introduces...
