Abstract

The present invention identifies a method for investigating the response of a cell membrane-associated protein in a living cell to a drug by labeling the protein with a visual marker, and also selectively labeling the membrane portion of the protein with another visual marker, such that upon exposure of the cell to a stimulus, the translocation of the cell membrane-associated protein may be observed directly.
