Cells sensitive to botulinum toxin into which specific gene has been inserted by lentivirus

Abstract

The present invention relates to cells for measuring botulinum toxin activity overexpressing SEPTIN2 or Thioredoxin (TXN), and to a method for measuring botulinum toxin activity, the method comprising the steps of: treating the cells for measuring botulinum toxin activity with botulinum toxin and culturing the cells; lysing the cultured cells and collecting a cell lysate; and measuring the amount of SNAP-25 cleavage products in the cell lysate.
