title: Intracellular detection assays for high-throughput screening.
abstract: New optical assay methods promise to accelerate the use of living cells in screens for drug discovery. Most of these methods employ either fluorescent or luminescent read-outs and allow cell-based assays for most targets, including receptors, ion channels and intracellular enzymes. Furthermore, genetically encoded probes offer the possibility of custom-engineered biosensors for intracellular biochemistry, specifically localized targets, and protein-protein interactions.
