Abstract
The present invention provides a reporter gene containing cell line with increased specificity and/or sensitivity for a particular extracellular signal of interest so that it can be used in a gene-reporter assay to accurately determine the presence and/or level of the extracellular signal of interest in the presence of other extracellular signals that are capable of activating the same signal transduction pathway as the extracellular signal of interest or that are capable of activating another signal transduction pathway capable of modulating the transcription of the reporter gene.
