 PROFILE
Transkaryotic Therapies (TKT) operates at the cellular level. The firm researches gene therapies that activate malfunctioning genes, prompting them to produce proteins necessary for proper operation. It does not rely on cloned genes; instead, TKT is developing a way to graft activating DNA sequences directly onto genes, which will then reproduce properly. With Aventis, the firm is developing Dynepo, a treatment for anemia; the duo and Amgen are battling in court over the drug and its similarity to Amgen's blockbuster Epogen. TKT's Replagal, a therapy for Fabry disease, has received orphan drug status in Europe and the US. The company is also working on a product to treat hemophilia.
