Abstract

See full text

It is an object of the present invention to evaluate the induction of a drug-metabolizing enzyme by a test substance more accurately than ever before, by simple operations, using a vector in which a reporter gene is connected downstream of the expression control region of a drug-metabolizing enzyme gene and a cell into which the aforementioned vector is introduced. The present invention provides a vector for producing a cell that is used for evaluation of the induction of a drug-metabolizing enzyme by a test substance and the cytotoxicity of the test substance, the vector comprising an expression control region of a fetus-specific gene, a first reporter gene, an expression control region of a drug-metabolizing enzyme gene, and a second reporter gene, wherein the first reporter gene is located downstream of the expression control region of the fetus-specific gene and the second reporter gene is located downstream of the expression control region of the drug-metabolizing enzyme gene. In addition, the present invention also provides a cell comprising the aforementioned vector and a method for evaluating induction of a drug-metabolizing enzyme by a test substance and cytotoxicity of the test substance using the vector.
