  • Reporter system for cell surface receptor-ligand binding
    Publication number: 20020150912
    Abstract: The present invention provides chimeric reporter constructs, recombinant cells containing the reporter constructs, and assays utilizing the recombinant cells for detection of substances that interact with cell surface receptors, such as those of the G-protein coupled receptor family. The reporter constructs and recombinant cells are particularly well suited for high-throughput screening assays, and detection of interaction between a substance and a cell surface receptor can be performed visually, by FACS, or by luminometry.
