Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method of screening for a compound that enhances or inhibits the transport activity of OATP1B1, using dichlorofluorescein. The present invention also provides a use of dichlorofluorescein in measurement of the expression level of OATP1B1. The present invention further provides a method for measuring the expression level of OATP1B1 in test cells, using dichlorofluorescein. The present invention further provides a use of a kit including dichlorofluorescein and positive cells expressing OATP1B1 in measurement of the expression level of OATP1B1 in test cells.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of screening for a compound that enhances or inhibits a transport activity of OATP1B1, comprising: a step of preparing a cell expressing OATP1B1; a step of bringing dichlorofluorescein and a test compound into contact with the cell; a step of measuring a fluorescence intensity of dichlorofluorescein taken up by the cell; and a step of determining the test compound as a compound that enhances the transport activity of OATP1B1 in a case th…
