    Výroba stabilních fibroblastových růstových faktorů pro výzkumné, terapeutické a kosmetické aplikace

  • Annotation in Czech

    Cílem projektu je odstranit nízkou stabilitu, která brání praktickému využití fibroblastových růstových faktorů (FGF). Tyto speciální proteiny podporují množení a diferenciaci buněk v lidském organizmu, a tím umožňují regeneraci poškozených tkání. Zásadní problém nicméně představuje nízká stabilita proteinů, která snižuje jejich biologickou účinnost a zvyšuje cenu finálních produktů. V rámci projektu budou aplikovány pokročilé metody proteinového inženýrství pro zvýšení stability vybraných FGF a bude zaveden nový výrobní proces, který umožní nabídnout stabilní FGF zákazníkům v množství a ceně atraktivní pro široké spektrum aplikací. Očekávané produkty svoji kvalitou zvýší konkurenceschopnost firmy na tradičně silných trzích jako je výzkum kmenových buněk, zdravotnictví a kosmetika.

Completed project evaluation

  • Provider evaluation

    U - Uspěl podle zadání (s publikovanými či patentovanými výsledky atd.)

  • Project results evaluation

    The opp. comm. agreed that the submitted project succeeded according to the assignment and the funds were used efficiently. All the main tasks were completed. Commercialization and patent. protec. was started only after the completion of the project. The fact that it was not possible to crystallize the native FGF, but on the contrary managed to obtain an FGF2-STAB crystal with a resolution of 1.3 A completely correlates with the intention of the project where the stabilized protein is capable of crystallization. Given the recent successful grant of an international patent and the subsequent sale of a license for the FGF2-STAB product, it can be assumed that the planned positive effect of project financing by TAČR in 3-5 years will actually bring the expected positives for the project partner Enantis in terms of major product portfolio expansion. the expected increase in the company's annual turnover, which could in the future exceed the costs of the pub. sec. invested in this project.
