reference compounds PXR assay

Human PXR Reporter cells were plated in 96-well plate and then stimulated with various concentrations of reference agonist Rifampicin for 24 hours. Luminescence signal was measured with an EnVision 2104 Multilabel Reader. PXR activation dose-response curve was plotted using GraphPad Prism program.
