The present invention relates generally to a method for modulating cell survival. Modulation of cell survival includes inducing enhancing or , otherwise promoting cell survival such as the survival of neural cells as well as facilitating cell death such as the death of targeted cancer cells. The modulation of cell survival is mediated by a region identified on the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) required for death signalling. The present invention further provides genetic molecules which encode the death signalling region of p75NTR which are useful in antagonising death signal function as well as promoting cell death when expressed in targeted cells. The present invention also …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 5, 1999 and granted December 6, 2011. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 5, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 5, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
