1. A method for isolating a cell that endogenously expresses a sweet taste receptor T1R2 subunit and/or sweet taste receptor T1R3 subunit, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
a. providing a population of cells; b. introducing into the cells a molecular beacon that detects expression of T1R2 and/or introducing into the cells a molecular beacon that detects expression of T1R3; and c. isolating cells that express a sweet taste receptor T1R2 subunit and/or sweet taste receptor T1R3 subunit.
