ABSTRACT:
Methods and materials for expressing and assaying functional neuronal receptors in neuronal cells, including methods for detecting particular odorant ligand specificity for particular odorant receptors and methods of using such. For example, methods and materials are provided for assaying for functional odor receptors in intact nasal epithelium of mammals such as rats and mice and for using such.
