CELL LINES EXPRESSING A MCH RECEPTOR

摘要

The present invention features neuroblastoma and skin cell carcinoma cell lines functionally expressing MCHR1 and the use of such cells to measure MCH R1 activity. Functional expression is preferably achieved in a neuroblastoma or skin cell carcinoma using a recombinant gene expressing MCHR1. The presence of a recombinant MCHR1 gene increases the level of MCHR1 expression facilitatin g the production and detection of MCHR1 activity.
