ABSTRACT:
DNA encoding glutamate and avermectin-sensitive chloride channels have been cloned and characterized. The protein is capable of forming channels selectively opened with either avermectin or glutamate. The cDNA has been expressed in recombinant host cells which produce active recombinant protein. The recombinant protein is also purified from the recombinant host cells. In addition, the recombinant host cells are utilized to establish a method for identifying modulators of the receptor activity, and receptor modulators are identified. Receptor modulators active in the method disclosed herein are useful as ectoparasiticides, antiparasitic, anthelmenthic, acaracidal and insecticide agents.
