HT PARP in vivo Pharmacodynamic Assay II
Pharmacodynamic (PD) assays have recently been developed and employed early in the drug screening process to assess the ability of potential drug candidates to affect molecular targets. These assays have the advantages of performing molecular proof-of-concept investigations at an early stage such as phase 0 trials, and later can be used to stratify patients into treatment pools during any stage of clinical assessment.
In cancer drug development, a current molecular target of high interest is poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), as it is intimately involved in DNA repair and the survival or death of cancer cells. Until now, measuring the effectiveness of PARP inhibitors in cell and tissue lysates has been difficult and time consuming due to a lack of refined immunological reagents in an optimized and quantitative assay. Traditional PARP assays require the transfection of damaged DNA into the cells of interest in order to measure endogenous PARP activity, an especially difficult step when assaying cells from tissues.
Trevigen addresses this problem with the release of the HT PARP in vivo Pharmacodynamic Assay II, which is a high throughput, Chemiluminescent, PAR ELISA assay kit that has been validated on human peripheral blood lymphocytes and also shown to work with normal and tumor tissue. This improved assay features:
• Pre-coated capture antibody plates.
• Broad linear dynamic range to 1,000 pg/ml.
• High signal to noise ratio.
• Detection sensitivity of 2 pg/ml of PAR.
The amount of PAR present correlates directly with the activity of the PARP enzyme in cell lysates. This assay is ideal for quantification of PAR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, tissues and cultured cells.

Trevigen Releases CultreCoat® Cell Adhesion Assays
Trevigen announces the release of seven new coated well assay kits for cell adhesion studies.
A cell’s ability to adhere to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins is a necessary precursor to cell invasion, and this process also modulates morphogenesis, wound healing, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Researchers studying cancer cell behavior or developing cancer therapeutics study cell adhesion with various proteins, recognizing that manipulation of cell adhesion to the extracellular environment may…
Trevigen Announces the First Standardized Comet Assay Electrophoresis System
The comet assay is the only direct method for the detection of DNA damage in cells. It is used in cancer research, in genotoxicity studies on environmental mutagens, and for screening compounds for cancer therapeutics. Based on single cell gel electrophoresis in a controlled pH environment, the assay allows the integrity of stained nuclear DNA to be examined and measured.
Until now, a lack of standardization in electrophoresis equipment, control cells,…
Trevigen Announces a Highly Sensitive, Fluorescent, One Hour PARP Inhibition Ass …
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, through ribosylation of nuclear proteins, converts DNA Damage into intracellular signals that actuate either DNA repair or cell death. The development of inhibitors to PARP is of ever increasing interest in the drug discovery community since they can be used as modulators of DNA repair mediated resistance to cytotoxic cancer therapeutics. Until now, commercially available PARP assay kits required multiple steps and were time consuming.
Trevigen overcomes these…
Trevigen announces the release of Four New Assay Kits for 3-D Cell Proliferation
Many scientists are converting from growing cells in a traditional 2-D Monolayer on plastic surfaces with tissue culture medium to “3-D” Culture. In 3-D Culture, cells are grown in a microenvironment of specialized proteins which mimics in vivo conditions and allows the cells to organize into complex structures rather than uniform monolayers. Various types of cells require different specialized proteins for optimal growth conditions and these extracellular matrices can play…
