A baculovirus/insect cell expression system in which both alpha and beta subunit of human IL-5 receptor can be over-expressed together in Sf9 cells has been developed. This system is able to express the human high-affinity IL-5 receptors at a very high level and finds use in a screening assay for IL-5 receptor-based antagonists. A preferred embodiment of the screening assay involves the use of peanut agglutinin as lectin in a scintillation proximity assay. |
