Carrying large molecules into the cytosol of living cells with Cupid, a novel cell penetrating peptide
Jonathan Ryves
Chief Executive Officer, Cupid Peptides
Cell penetrating peptides (“CPPs”) have a huge role to play in both research and drug delivery. However, the majority of bio-medical researchers rarely use the most sophisticated CPPs available. We present our novel CPP “Cupid” capable of carrying large proteins into the cytosols of living cells where they refold into biologically active forms. With Cupid technology we offer the researcher Speed – Cargoes are bioactive in 30-60 mins; Control – GFP fluorescence allows monitoring Cupid-Cargo entry and Versatility – Mutant proteins or parts of proteins up to 80kD can now be delivered.
