Description

ERRP, A Newly Isolated cDNA (EGF-R Related Protein) -- -- -- - The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), through the National Technology Transfer Center (NTTC), is seeking a commercialization partner to further develop this technology through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). -- -- -- The VA invention relates to the EGFr, certain polynucleotides (i.e., genes or gene components) encoding these proteins, methods for using the proteins and the methods employed for the detection of the nucleotides and certain monoclonal antibodies directed toward a particular protein isolated in this research. At the heart of the invention is the discovery and characterization of a complementary DNA (cDNA) molecule encoding a protein that binds to EGFr, and of the protein so encoded, EGF receptor related protein (ERRr).
