The present invention provides a rapid method for screening potentially pharmaceutically useful compounds for activity in vivo. The method has the steps of growing a target cell into which a reporter gene was introduced in a biocompatible, semipermeable encapsulation device; implanting the semi-permeable encapsulation device into a subject; administering a potentially pharmaceutically active compound to said subject; removing said encapsulation device from said subject after in vivo exposure to the potentially pharmaceutically active compound and evaluating said target cell for reaction to said potentially paharmaceutically active compound by measuring the expression of said reporter gene.
本发明提供了一种快速的方法,用于筛选可能具有药用价值的化合物在体内的活性。该方法包括以下步骤:将一个报告
基因引入到一个靶细胞中,并将该细胞生长于一种
生物相容的半透性封装装置中;将该半透性封装装置植入到一个主体中;将一种可能具有药用活性的化合物给予该主体;在该主体经历了潜在的药用化合物的体内暴露后,从该主体中移除该封装装置,并通过测量该报告
基因的表达来评估该靶细胞对该潜在药用化合物的反应。
