Abstract

An assay method for the isolation of compounds that alter the human ENaC epithelial ion channel activity comprising: (i) preparing an expression system comprising human a -, b -, and q -subunits; (ii) adding a test compound to the expression system and: (iii) determining if there is a change in hENaC ion channel activity resulting from the addition of the test compound. Also claimed is a gene cassette under the control of a promoter and a transfer vector both comprising the three subunits above.
