New TR-FRET Readout Now Available with the Transcreener cGAMP cGAS Assay
Thursday, 10 December 2020
Launched in November 2019, the Transcreener cGAMP cGAS Assay has generated a great deal of interest in the drug discovery community. While fluorescence polarization (FP) readouts offer a stable and robust option, some researchers prefer time-resolved Förster-resonance-energy-transfer (TR-FRET) readouts for large screens. After months of development, BellBrook Labs is pleased to announce the addition of

New Transcreener UDP2 Assay with a Fluorescence Intensity Readout
Friday, 29 May 2020
BellBrook Labs scientists have developed a new universal UDP detection assay for the measurement of Glycosyltransferase activity. The Transcreener UDP2 FI Assay extends the Transcreener platform for UDP detection by utilizing a simple fluorescence intensity (FI) output. It can be used on fluorescence readers typically found in academic and therapeutic research laboratories, as well as

New Transcreener CD73 Assay for Discovery of Therapeutics to Enhance Tumor Immunity
Monday, 27 April 2020
The new Transcreener CD73 Assay measures adenosine production by CD73 in a mix-and-read format with a far-red fluorescence polarization readout. The assay will accelerate efforts to discover selective CD73 antagonists for cancer immunotherapy by enabling high throughput screening, structure-driven hit-to-lead, and mechanistic studies with the purified enzyme. Madison, WI – April 27th, 2020 – Researchers
Recorded Webinar – Transcreener® CD73 Assay: Leveraging Nucleotide Detection to Measure Adenosine
Monday, 13 April 2020
CD73 is a plasma membrane-bound ectonucleotidase that hydrolyzes AMP into adenosine, contributing to immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment; it is being pursued as a promising immuno-oncology drug target. In this webinar we will present the steps involved in development of the Transcreener CD73 assay. Transcreener is a biochemical HTS assay platform based on homogenous immunodetection
FUT7, Inflammation, and Fucosyltransferase Assays
Wednesday, 01 April 2020
Inflammation is a necessary step involved in the immune response, allowing our bodies to fight and eliminate disease, allergies, and injuries. The inflammatory response recruits several mediators to aid in the destruction of whatever pathogen caused the response in the first place. Cells such as leucocytes, eosinophils, and neutrophils get recruited to the site in

How a Methyltransferase Activity Assay Could Help Identify Novel Breast Cancer Treatments
Monday, 22 April 2019
As estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer (BC) becomes resistant to antiestrogen therapy, novel ways to control the disease are and continue to be developed. There are different types of breast cancer, and the most effective treatment depends on knowing this difference. For example, if the type is estrogen receptor positive (ER) meaning cells are
