Embodiment 1
[0054] Embodiment 1 produces the method for pattern taste cell
[0055] [052] Human HuTu-80 endocrine cells were prepared according to the method described by Rozengurt et al. (2006, Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 291:792-802). 5% CO at 37°C 2 / 95% air conditions, the parent HuTu-80 (ATCC: HTB-40 TM ) Endocrine cells were grown in Minimal Essential Eagle's Medium containing 10% FBS and antibiotics (100 U / ml penicillin, 100 μg / ml streptomycin and 0.25 μg / ml amphotericin B) in plastic or collagen I-coated plates .
Embodiment 2
[0056] Example 2 Using Model Taste Cells to Screen and Identify Modulators of Taste Signal Transduction
[0057] [053] One or more target proteins necessary for taste signal transduction are isolated and purified from model taste cells as described above. The effect of test compounds on purified target proteins or their interaction with other proteins in taste signal transduction is determined using various cell-based assays as described below. Further confirmation that the test compounds modulate taste signaling is then identified based on the cell-based assays performed to identify test compounds that modulate the purified protein of interest or their interaction with other proteins in taste signaling.
[0058] [054] As used herein, cell-based assays include:
[0059] A. Cell-based analysis of intracellular second messengers:
[0060] [055] Detection of cyclic nucleotides: Changes in cyclic nucleotides such as cAMP and cGMP can be measured by quantifying their amounts in ...
Embodiment 3
[0079] Confirmation of the Effects of Taste Modulating Compounds in the Human Taste Test of Example 3
[0080] [071] Test tastants (e.g., sweeteners, savory compounds, salty tastants, bitter tastants, or sour tastants) tasted alone in combination with test tastants and taste-modulating compounds Perceived intensity for comparison. A candidate taste enhancer increases the perceived intensity of a test tastant, while a taste suppressor decreases the perceived intensity of the test tastant.
[0081] [072] In one embodiment, a panel of assessors is used to measure the strength of the test tastant solution. Briefly, a group of evaluators (usually 8 to 12 individuals) are trained to evaluate taste intensity perception and intensity is measured at several time points from the time the sample first enters the mouth until 3 minutes after it has been expelled. Using statistical analysis, the results were compared between samples containing additives and samples not containing additive...
