    摘要: In one aspect, the invention provides fluorescent probes and assays. The probes include a fluorophore-quencher pair that undergoes a switch from dark to fluorescent in response to a reaction of the quencher. The switch of the probe from dark to fluorescent is typically mediated by an enzyme that acts directly or indirectly on the quencher, interfering with its ability to quench fluorescence emission from the fluorophore.In another aspect, the invention provides a reporter gene assay system and methods of using this system. The assay system includes a fluorophore-quencher probe and an enzyme that acts directly or indirectly on the quencher, increasing the fluorescent emission of the fluorophore. In still other aspects, the invention provides nucleic acid constructs and cells expressing the peptide products of these constructs.In assays of the invention, the presence of a target substance is detected by the switching of fluorescence mediated by the change in oxidation state of the quencher. The assay systems are of use in numerous assay formats, e.g., confirming the expression of the enzyme that acts on the quencher, and/or detecting a species conjugated to the enzyme.

    摘要: The present invention provides novel in vitro assays for determining the nephrotoxicity of a compound. These assays correlate well with in vivo nephrotoxicity and also provide high-throughput methods to screen multiple compounds for in vivo nephrotoxicity. In addition, the methods of the present invention may be adapted to screen for nephroprotectant compounds, including those that protect cells and animals from the nephrotoxic effects of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
