"We have been trying to identify a receptor that has been sought after for nearly 30 years by laboratories across the globe. Thanks to Dualsystems service CaptiRec (LRC-TriCEPS), we now have a strong candidate receptor." De'Broski R. Herbert Ph.D. Assistant Professor in Residence University of California San Francisco (UCSF)

"Thanks to LRC-TriCEPS (CaptiRec) technology we were able to identify a long sought receptor of our ligand using genetically-engineered cell lines with the support of Dualsystems".Fumihiko Urano, MD, PhD Samuel E. Schechter Professor of Medicine Washington University School of Medicine

New publication in Nature Communications using the LRC-TriCEPS technology in collaboration with Alisson Gontijo « The fruitful collaboration with Dualsystems Biotech using the LRC-TriCEPS (CaptiRec) technology showed that even on insect cells receptors could be identified » Alisson M. Gontijo, Principal Investigator at CEDOC Centro de Estudos de Doenças Crónicas

«Leveraging Dualsystems Biotech novel linker technology (LRC-TriCEPS) and its analytical data processing capabilities we were able to identify the heterophilic receptor for a highly-pursued immuno-oncology target.»Dr. Edward van der Horst, Senior Director, Preclinical Development Igenica Biotherapeutics

“For the ligand sample two unique receptors were identified. Flow cytometry analysis with siRNA induced knockdown of these proteins confirmed that the presence of the protein is needed for CTRP3 binding to occur. CONCLUSION The LRC-TriCEPS methodology was successful in identifying the receptor for CTRP3.”Jonathan M Peterson Assistant Professor East Tennessee State University

“With the support of Dualsystems Biotech and their LRC-TriCEPS technology we were able to identify receptor candidates for our peptide with renoprotective properties in kidney injury.” Dr. rer. nat. Inga Sörensen-Zender Postdoc Medizinische Hochschule Hannover  

"We are very pleased with the work product of Dualsystems Biotech. The TriCEPS reagent allowed us to identify a novel ligand-extracellular matrix protein receptor interaction, which was not possible using traditional techniques. The Dualsystems team were very helpful in tailoring the experimental conditions to fit our biological question."Manish Ponda, M.D., M.S. Assistant Professor of Clinical Investigation The Rockefeller University

"Every aspect of our experience with Dualsystems Biotech was outstanding.  They provided excellent customer service and technical support throughout the entire process.  Their LRC-TriCEPS technology allowed us to identify several new candidate receptors for our protein of interest in rat primary neurons, and this has created new and exciting avenues for our research." Sari S. Hannila, PhD Associate Professor, Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science Associate Member, Spinal Cord Research Centre Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba

"Dualsystems Biotech’s approach to receptor identification with the TriCEPS reagent gave us a powerful platform with great support for a successful and fast data generation, when conventional approaches had previously failed."Dr. rer. nat. Martin Herold Working group from Prof. Dr. med. Luisa Klotz Münster University Hospital (UKM), Germany

We are very pleased with the experience and interaction on very high professional level with Dualsystems Biotech. As a result of such collaboration the new receptor MUC5B was identified in human chondrosarcoma cells for the first time for antiproliferative neuropeptide PRP-1. Read more I would like to thank once again the company and, particularly, Dr Helbling for his attention and collaboration. Dr Karina Galoian Research associate professor University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine Department of Orthopedic surgery Miami, Florida, USA

“With the help of the team at Dualsystems we confirmed a potential receptor which has lead to a Nature paper submission and successful funding of a research grant. The LRC-TriCEPS experiment was straightforward and the process was cost effective. We look forward to using TriCEPS in the future.”Anita Burgess  |  PhD Hepatic Fibrosis Group QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, Australia

J Immunol. 2018; 200: 1471-1479. The identification of a T cell co-receptor for staphylococcal superantigens had been challenging due to the structural features of the interaction and its kinetics.  However, working with Dualstystems Biotech AG, and with Dr. Paul Helbling in particular, and using the LRC-TriCEPS technology, we were able to identify a candidate that was subsequently corroborated by biochemical and functional assays.   We are very happy with this collaboration , and sincerely recommend it for the identification of novel receptor or co-receptor candidates.(Quim) Madrenas, MD, PhD, FCAHS Chief Scientific Officer Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center Torrance, USA

It was a pleasure working with Paul Helbling and his team. I was impressed by their attention to detail, and optimization of all cell conditions to produce the most reliable possible results. They kept me informed at every stage of the process and shared data as soon as they were able to. Using their LRC-TriCEPS platform, we were able to follow leading candidates as binding partners for our cardiac targeting peptide and identified the most likely binding partner. Maliha Zahid, M.D., Ph.D. Assistant Professor Departement of Developmental Biology University of Pittsburgh

The team from DualSystems Biotech AG has been extremely helpful in delivering scientific advice for CuroNZ’s target identification journey. The quick turnaround time and the precision of NRP2945’s target identification in regard to the utilization of their TRICEPS technology impressed us very much. Meanwhile we could identify another NRP2945 receptor target that was identified by DualSystems as being recruited to the NRP2945-activated membrane receptor complex. An absolute pleasure to work with Paul Helbling’s team. Frank Sieg, PhD CSO CuroNZ Ltd Mangawhai in New Zealand

I was very pleased with my collaboration with the team at Dualsystems. We had to work with difficult cells and the team helped us develop modifications to the original protocol to be able to use the TriCEPS approach with our cells. The whole team was very responsive, involved, and knowledgeable and this led to a successful identification of a receptor for our ligand of interest. We have since then confirmed the interaction and we are now getting ready to publish this study, which will have implications in the treatment of ocular injuries.
