Abstract:
The following discloses mammalian cells lines that stably express functional nematode acetylcholine receptor subunits. The resulting expression of functional ion channels has been made possible by the stable co-expression of the chaperone protein, RIC3. These cell lines are extremely useful for the high throughput screening (HTS) of compounds, to identify new candidate parasiticidal, including nematocidal, active ingredients.
