  • Method for identifying and/or isolating genes which code for membrane receptors
    Patent number: 5328838
    Abstract: A method for the analysis and isolation of genes which express membrane receptors was developed. Cells of E. coli transformed with proper vectors, from phage, as well as from plasmids, containing the cDNA coding for human .beta.-adrenergic receptors, are grown on slabs of LB/agar; the bacterial colonies, once transferred onto nitrocellulose filters, show specific activity for (.sup.125 I)-iodocyanopindolol (ICYP). The .beta.-adrenergic receptors expressed in bacteria retain their pharmacologic characteristics after being transferred on filters.
