Zusammenfassung:The current invention provides methods for determining the estrogenic activity of a compound, which includes contacting an estrogen-responsive system having a gene under the control of a DMBT1 regulatory sequence with a test compound and determining how the test compound affects expression of the gene. The invention further provides for determining the progestogenic activity of a compound, which includes contacting an estrogen- and progesterone-responsive system having a gene under the control of a DMBT1 regulatory sequence with an estrogenic activity and a test compound and determining how the test compound effects expression of the gene. Nucleic acids and cell-based systems that include a portion of the DMBT1 regulatory sequence useful for these methods are also provided.
