Abstract
A modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell, wherein the cell expresses the Influenza virus ion channel protein M.sub.2. Also disclosed is a process for detecting modulators of M.sub.2, which comprises (a) treating such modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells with a test substance, and (b) assessing growth in the presence of a test substance, wherein a change in growth signals that the test substance is an M.sub.2 modulator. M.sub.2 inhibitors are useful anti-viral agents.
