Target Sufficiency
Target Sufficiency® is the ability of a target system to respond to a therapeutic. It reflects the abundance and forms of the drug target protein, as well as other key system proteins that connect the target to disease phenotypes and enable response. Assessment of the target system requires an analysis platform that can simultaneously capture multiple precise protein measurements.
Target Sufficiency® enables direct, quantitative analysis of drug target systems in cells, tissues, and tissue models, including formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. Drug targets can be measured in their diverse forms (including sequence or splice variants and post-translationally modified forms) together with their key protein co-regulators that constitute therapeutic target systems. Target Sufficiency® defines the target system in its native cell or tissue environment and enables development of more effective therapeutic strategies and personalized therapies.
