Clontech Laboratories & TET Systems Announce the Broadening of Their License Agreement

28-Jul-2010 - Germany

Clontech Laboratories, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Takara Bio Inc., and TET Systems, a privately-held German biotech company based in Heidelberg, announced that they have signed an amendment to their existing license agreement. Under the expanded license agreement, Clontech obtains rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize novel Tet Systems products as the Tet-On® 3G™ Inducible Expression System.

The Tet-On 3G Inducible Expression System provides highly inducible, sensitive control of gene expression. It includes two novel components, the rights to which were acquired by TET in 2009: (i) an improved transcriptional activator developed by scientists at the Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam (AMC) in the Netherlands, and (ii) a novel minimal Tet promoter developed at the University of Heidelberg in Germany.
