Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
The Confidence in Concept scheme is a key part of MRC’s translational research strategy and provides annual awards to institutions, to be used flexibly to support the earliest stages of multiple translational research projects. The award can be used by the institution to support a number of preliminary-stage translational projects. The projects supported should aim to provide sufficient preliminary data to establish the viability of an approach –– before seeking more substantive funding. It is intended to accelerate the transition from discovery research to translational development projects by supporting preliminary work or feasibility studies to establish the viability of an approach.

| Title | METHOD OF IDENTIFYING COMPLEMENT MODULATORS (Amended) |
| Description | Aspects of the present invention relate to method and systems which provide extended capability, compared to the existing techniques, for the screening of epitopes associated with complement activation. Particularly, but not exclusively, certain embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for generating a complement panning surface. Certain embodiments involve the use of surface plasmon resonance, and/or phage display technology. Certain embodiments of the present invention may be advantageous over the prior art in the generation of new complement panning surfaces. These surfaces may enable the identification of neoepitopes associated with surface-bound activated complement components. Compared to previous 'homing' complement drugs, such as TT30 - which target epitopes found on both soluble and surface-bound, activated complement components - the selective binding of only surface-bound activated components may result in said compound eliciting a longer-lasting therapeutic effect. This could potentially improve the compound's efficacy as a complement-modulating drug by extending the therapeutic window. |
