Title:
TARGET VALIDATION ASSAY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006074292
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An method of determining whether a gene of interest is necessary for a tumor cell to maintain its tumorigenicity is disclosed. The method is useful for validation of cancer therapeutic targets in vivo, using shRNAs and tumor xenografts. The inducible shRNA method operates an in vivo RNAi competition assay.
