RECOMBINANT CELL, METHOD FOR ANALYZING POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC COMPOUND AND KIT FOR ANALYZING POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC COMPOUND USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique with which a polycyclic aromatic compound is analyzed in high sensitivity.;SOLUTION: The cell is a recombinant cell that contains a guinea pig-derived AhR (arylhydrocarbon receptor) gene and a guinea pig-derived Arnt (AhR nuclear translocator) and expresses the pig-derived AhR and the pig-derived Arnt. Preferably the cell contains a reporter system for indirectly analyzing a complex composed of a polycyclic aromatic compound, the AhR and the Arnt. The cell is useful in a method for analyzing a polycyclic aromatic compound and in a kit for analyzing a polycyclic aromatic compound. The polycyclic aromatic compound, for example, includes dioxins, PCDF (polychlorinated dibenzofuran), PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl), β-naphthoflavone, 3-methylcholanthrene, benzopyrene, benzimidazole, dibenzanthracene, pentachlorophenol, etc.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
