In April 2018, Tango Biosciences received a R41 award from NIH. The goals of the grant are to generate two-site capable affinity reagents through MegaSTAR to two sets of targets. One set represents biomarkers of colorectal cancer and myocardial infarction. MegaSTAR reagents will be benchmarked against existing commercial sandwich reagents, and the performance metrics (i.e., intra-assay and inter-assay precision, linearity, sensitivity) will be evaluated and compared through ELISA. The second set of targets is a family of membrane proteins. Successful production of specific affinity reagents to the ectodomains will showcase the potential of MegaSTAR to generate reagents to challenging targets.
