Axiom Biotechnologies Receives Notice of Allowance on Two Patents for Cell-Based Compound Profiling.Business Editors and Health/Medical Writers SAN DIEGO--(BW HealthWire)--May 2, 2000 Axiom axiom, in mathematics and logic, general statement accepted without proof as the basis for logically deducing other statements (theorems). Examples of axioms used widely in mathematics are those related to equality (e.g. Biotechnologies Inc. today announced that it has received Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office The United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO or USPTO) is an agency in the United States Department of Commerce that provides patent protection to inventors and businesses for their inventions, and trademark registration for product and intellectual property on two U.S. patent applications for instrumentation and methods relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc pharmacology pharmacology, study of the changes produced in living animals by chemical substances, especially the actions of drugs, substances used to treat disease. Systematic investigation of the effects of drugs based on animal experimentation and the use of isolated and profiling of compounds in cell-based assays. The two Allowed patent applications will expand the Company's patent portfolio by protecting the use of flow-based analytical systems for profiling compounds on living cells using a variety of cell-based approaches to assess receptor pharmacology, mechanism of action and toxicity endpoints. "These two Allowances further reinforce Axiom's position as a leader in cell-based analyses for post-screening compound profiling," said Pandi Veerapandian, President & Chief Scientific Officer. "We are particularly pleased to extend and protect our flow-based approaches beyond fluorimetry into flow cytometry flow cytometry (flōˑ sī·t  ˑ·m where the company can perform high efficiency analyses of cultured cell populations, as well as patient cell samples for pharmacogenomic applications." The titles of the two patent applications are, "Apparatus and Method for Compound Profiling of Living Cells," and "Cell Flow Apparatus and Method for Real-Time Measurements of Cellular Response," and the Company expects these patents to issue later this year. Axiom Biotechnologies is a privately-held biotechnology company focused on improving the efficiency of drug discovery by accelerating the process of lead profiling by applying an array of proprietary "hits-to-leads" technologies and assays. The company's patented flagship technology, the High Throughput Pharmacology System (HT-PS), combines proprietary natural cell-based assays, high throughput automated instrumentation and novel pharmacoinformatics and biomining tools to assess and prioritize potential lead compounds based on their functional pharmacological Pharmacological Referring to therapy that relies on drugs.
