Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a novel analytical method for identifying compounds which induce and/or inhibit signal transduction in cells. The invention method enables rapid testing of a variety of compounds to determine if they exert an influence on signal transduction. The invention assay can be carried out using unmodified cells and/or cell lines, avoiding the need for extensive preparation prior to analysis.
