The invention provides for a novel cholesterol loaded insect cell membrane preparation having an increased cholesterol level as compared to physiological cholesterol levels of insect cell membranes or to control insect cell membrane preparations without cholesterol loading, wherein said cholesterol loaded membrane preparation comprises an ABC transporter protein having an increased substrate transport activity due to increased cholesterol level of the membrane. The invention also relates to reagent kits comprising the preparations of the invention. The invention also relates to methods for manufacturing said preparations and methods for measuring any type of activity of the ABC transporters present in the cholesterol loaded membranes as well as studying or testing compounds and interaction of compounds and ABC transporters, in this assay systems. The invention also provides for a test system useful for testing whether ABC transporter proteins can be activated by cholesterol in an insect cell membrane.       Recently Added Patents Audio output apparatus, audio output method, audio output system, and program for audio output processing Hash processing using a processor Latch mechanism for latching a monitor of a portable computer and portable computer thereof Anchor apparatus for clear plastic orthodontic appliance systems and the like Instruments and methods for minimally invasive spine surgery Discharge apparatus comprising rotating device Guided munition systems including combustive dome covers and methods for equipping guided munitions with the same   Randomly Featured Patents Process for generating high-pressure fuel and system for generating high fuel pressure System and method of transmit beam selection Pharmaceutical compositions and process for their preparation Incliner Computer system having a memory controller which performs readahead operations which can be aborted prior to completion Toners and developers containing ammonium tetrahaloferrate salts as charge-control agents Financial trading game Rubber containing silica and tire and tread thereof Game apparatus Door hung device providing clothing hooks © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
