Abstract
The invention provides methods for identifying agents that are ligands for nuclear receptors. The methods include conducting multiplexed assays utilizing positive hybrid systems, reverse hybrid systems, direct interaction assays and other assays to screen for ligands having activity with a receptor of interest. The methods can be performed in various multiplexing formats to produce a profile that can be used to categorize a test ligand relative to known agonists and antagonists.
