LUMINESCENCE RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER (LRET) ASSAYS FOR CLOSTRIDIAL TOXIN ACTIVITY

摘要

Clostridial toxin substrates comprising a lanthanide donor complex, an acceptor, and a Clostridial toxin recognition sequence including a cleavage site; methods for determining the activity of a Clostridial toxin from a test sample using such Clostridial toxin substrates; cell compositions comprising such Clostridial toxin substrates and a Clostridial toxin receptor; and methods for determining the activity of a Clostridial toxin from a test sample using such cell compositions.
