Abstract
Murine and human Ah-receptor cDNAs are provided. These molecules can be used to generate large quantities of Ah-receptor protein for use in competitive binding assays for detecting environmental pollutants. Also, the murine and human cDNAs can be used in the generation of recombinant organisms that can serve as biomonitors for environmental pollutants or in regulating gene expression for receptor agonists. Additionally, the cDNAs can be used to detect human and wildlife populations that have high susceptibility to environmental pollutants and polyacrylic aromatic hydrocarbons.
