LEPTIN ASSAY

摘要

The invention provides a method for determining the presence of leptin, base d on detecting leptin-induced angiopoietin-2 expression in some cells or cell lines, e.g. murine Swiss 3T3 F442A preadipocytes or human marrow stromal cel l line hMS2-12. Leptin detection is e.g. performed transfecting cells with a vector comprising a reporter gene (e.g. Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)) und er the control of angiopoietin-2 promoter.
