Lexicon Genetics Incorporated has granted a non-exclusive sublicense to Bristol- Myers Squibb Company for the use of certain aspects of Lexicon’s positive-negative selection and isogenic DNA technologies.
Bristol-Myers Squibb will use the technology for the generation of knockout mice for internal research purposes to gain predictive information about gene products that are valid drug targets or therapeutic proteins for drug development.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
“We are pleased that Bristol-Myers Squibb has selected Lexicon’s technologies for gene targeting and has joined our growing list of sublicensees,” stated Randall B.
