PLASMID RESPONSIVE TO DIOXIN, ETC., TRANSGENIC CELL FOR ASSAY OF DIOXIN, ETC. AND UTILIZING THE SAME, DIOXIN, ETC. DETECTING METHOD AND BIOSENSOR

摘要

A plasmid comprising a gene, which is reactive with dioxins and/or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to thereby be activated (hereinafter referred to as DRE gene), and a secretory marker protein expressing gene disposed understream of the DRE gene. Further, there is developed a transgenic cell having this plasmid introduced therein which when exposed to dioxins and/or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, secrets a secretory marker protein. Still further, there is developed a biosensor utilizing this transgenic cell.
