Abstract

We describe a high-throughput, phenotypic screening method for one or more modulator(s) of Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) in larval zebrafish. The modulator(s) may be enhancers or inhibitors of ApoB expression. This represents a remarkable opportunity to investigate drug targets in every cell and tissue type of a whole animal without bias, thus maximizing the likelihood of identifying viable pre-therapeutic leads for compounds or biologics in a subject (e.g., human).
