Abstract

Upon ligand binding, Notch activation and cleavage culminates in the expression of its target genes. Hence, the use of Notch-responsive promoters to drive reporter gene expression provides a flexible and robust approach for monitoring signaling activity. In this chapter, we present an overview of Notch transcriptional reporter assays and discuss different methods for ligand-independent and ligand-dependent activation of Notch in mammalian cells.
