Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Scientific publication with appropriate description of the method.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The aim of this study was to assess the estrogenic activities of environmentally relevant chemicals including melamine.
Method according to Nishikawa et al. The yeast two-hybrid system is based on the ligand-dependent interaction of two proteins, a hormone receptor and a coactivator, and hormonal activity is detected by ß-galactosidase activity.
