Abstract
The present invention provides a method of measuring the ability of a compound to bind to the GABA recognition site of an insect GABA receptor. The invention further provides host cells that express a nucleic acid encoding the GABA receptor subunit LCCH3 and a nucleic acid encoding the GABA receptor subunit Grd, and cell membranes obtained from the host cells.
