In Vitro Technologies, Inc. (IVT) and SOLVO Biotechnologies Inc., Announce North American Distribution Agreement for SOLVO's In Vitro ABC Membrane Transporter Assay Products.BALTIMORE & BUDAPEST, Hungary -- In Vitro Technologies, Inc. (IVT IVT intravenous transfusion. ) and SOLVO Biotechnologies Inc., announced that they have formed a strategic partnership to distribute SOLVO's leading in vitro ABC ABC in full American Broadcasting Co. Major U.S. television network. It began when the expanding national radio network NBC split into the separate Red and Blue networks in 1928. Membrane Transporter Assay Product Line in the U.S. and Canada. IVT is a recognized leader in providing quality in vitro products and services, particularly for ADME-Tox research applications. Continuing with IVT's commitment to bring an extensive line of solutions for drug discovery and development research, IVT and SOLVO have collaborated to leverage IVT's strength in the marketplace and SOLVO's innovative Membrane Transporter products. "We are very excited about this partnership with SOLVO and firmly believe that it will deliver additional value to pharmaceutical research customers in North America," said Dr. Paul Silber, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of IVT. "By making the products available from within the United States, we are making the purchase process efficient and cost-effective coupled with increased ability to provide technical support." "By now, it is common knowledge among researchers that ABC transporters play a key role in the function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB BBB A medium grade assigned to a debt obligation by a rating agency to indicate an adequate ability to pay interest and repay principal. However, adverse developments are more likely to impair this ability than would be the case for bonds rated A and above. ), blood-CSF barrier, blood-testis barrier, intestinal epithelia ep·i·the·li·a n. A plural of epithelium. (absorption), airway epithelia, liver epithelia and the kidney epithelia," explained Gabor Heltovics, SOLVO's business development director. "SOLVO's leading in vitro assay systems are designed to detect interaction of test compounds with a wide array of ABC Transporter proteins found at these vital pharmacological barriers. Our products are widely used for in vitro ADME/Tox, DMPK, oncology drug research and multi-drug resistant (MDR MDR, n See multidrug resistance. MDR, n the abbreviation for minimum daily requirement, specifically the Minimum Daily Requirements for Specific Nutrients compiled by the United States Food and Drug Administration. ) modulating agent discovery. We are very excited about the opportunity to work with IVT as an ideal partner to further expand the usage of our products." SOLVO's unique technology platform is built on the following core capabilities: --Expression of a wide array of human ABC transporters (MDR1, MDR2/3, MRP1, MRP2, MRP3, MRP4, MRP5, MRP6, MXR, BSEP and others) and rodent (rat, mouse) transporters in various expression systems (e.g. baculovirus-based insect cell). --Functional characterization of proteins (ATPase, transport and binding data). --Identification of new drug targets on ABC transporters.
