AGAROSE FORMAT FOR MAMMALIAN CELL BASED REPORTER ASSAYS

摘要

The present invention provides a novel method of using mammalian cells under a layer of agarose or embedded in agarose for transcription activation assays, where a functional response can be detected from the cells under a layer of agarose or embedded in agarose. The invention for the first time provides an agarose format for mammalian cell-based reporter assays useful in high throughput screening.
