ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method for selectively blocking or inactivating glucocorticoid receptors by administering a glucocorticoid receptor blocking effective amount of arsenite or methyl methanethiolsulfonate (MMTS) in a sample. Thus, arsenite and MMTS constitute new, simple, reversible, and inexpensive reagents for assaying glucocorticoid receptors in the presence of other receptors and for eliminating the complications of assaying other receptors in the presence of glucocorticoid receptors.
