Title:
MULTI-REPORTER GENE MODEL FOR TOXICOLOGICAL SCREENING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004011676
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for the detection of gene activation events is provided which comprises a nucleic acid construct encoding a protein of the lipocalin protein family and a peptide tag in which the expression of the construct in a cell or in the cells of a transgenic animal demonstrates the activation of a gene or genes of interest, in which the protein expressed is secreted from the cell and in which detection of the peptide tag indicates expression of the construct.
