Microarrays and methods for evaluating activity of compounds having estrogen-like activity

摘要

In order to detect the effects of environmental hormones, the effect of chemical substances having estrogen-like activity are detected and evaluated This invention is characterized in that DNA fragments containing portions or wholes of genes and/or ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags) whose expression is affected by chemical substances having estrogen-like activity are immobilized on the basal plate of the microarry.
