Title:
SCREENING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING MODULATORS OF XENOBIOTIC METABOLISM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004034029
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides mice having reduced CAR receptor activity and mice expressing a human CAR receptor. These mice are useful in screening methods to identify CAR ligands, including compounds that modulate CAR receptor activity, compounds likely to have CAR-mediated toxicity, and analogs of these compounds with less potential toxicity.
