Michael J. Fox Foundation Offers High-Quality LRRK2 Antibodies for PD Therapeutic Development

Date:3/23/2010

-- Part of larger effort to develop and distribute high-quality experimental tools that will speed progress toward better treatments for PD --

NEW YORK, March 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Michael J. Fox Foundation announced that monoclonal LRRK2 antibodies, for use in understanding LRRK2 function and developing LRRK2-based therapeutics, will be available to Parkinson's researchers in academic/nonprofit and industry labs. In mid-April, the antibodies will be available free of charge to the entire PD research community for experimental use. This will allow researchers to undertake large-scale testing of the antibodies and provide feedback on their performance directly to MJFF. Once the best-performing antibodies have been identified, the Foundation will determine a practical distribution mechanism to make them available to the research community going forward.

"Our mission is to accelerate next-generation Parkinson's therapies on their path toward the clinic, and it is impossible to overstate access to high-quality, reliable experimental tools as a critical element of this push," said Katie Hood, CEO. "One of our top priorities is to mobilize financial and intellectual leadership around the creation of research tools and get them into scientists' hands to keep promising therapeutic strategies moving forward full-speed ahead."
