EPO Signal Peptides and the detection of recombinant EPO

Resource description

Project Title: EPO Signal Peptides and the detection of recombinant EPO

Researchers: Dr. C. Pemberton, Dr. D. Gerrard, Dr. J. Cotter

Institution: University of Otago, New Zealand

Year accepted: 2012

Summary: This project has the potential to offer a novel, simple, robust and specific method to detect illegal EPO, via measurement of the ratio of EPO to EPO signal peptide, for use in competitive sports. We envisage the ratio forming part of individual athletes 'Athlete Biological Passport' or ABP.
