Download or read book OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 458: Stably Transfected Human Androgen Receptor Transcriptional Activation Assay for Detection of Androgenic Agonist and Antagonist Activity of Chemicals written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Test Guideline describes in vitro assays, which use Androgen Receptor TransActivation (ARTA) to detect Androgen Receptor Agonists and Antagonists. The ARTA assay methods are mechanistically and functionally similar test methods that provide information on the transcription and translation of a reporter gene following the binding of a chemical to the androgen receptor and subsequent transactivation.
