BDS CALUX - Screening of Dioxin-Like Compounds (PCDDs, PCDFs, and DL-PCBs)
What is CALUX? The CALUX Assay (Chemically Activated Luciferase Expression) is a screening bioassay for dioxin-like compounds (PCDDs, PCDFs, and DL-PCBs) using a recombinant cell line developed by Dr. Michael Denison, UC Davis, and patented in December 1998.
LUMI-CELL - For Estrogen Receptor - α (ERα)
What is LUMI-CELL? Similar to the CALUX bioassay, LUMI-CELL is a screening assay using a recombinant cell line (Human breast Carcinoma cell “VM7Luc4E2”) containing a stably integrated ER-responsive luciferase reporter gene for detection and relative quantitation of estrogenic or antiestrogenic activity of chemicals or extracts. The LUMI-CELL bioassay was endocrine disruptor compounds developed by Dr. Michael S. Denison, UC Davis.
