Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0063424A2] The invention provides improved methods of screening compounds for potential pharmacological activity using nematode worms, principally but not exclusively.C. elegans. Specifically, the invention relates to methods in which the compound under test is added directly to a nematode food source organism and therefore taken up by the nematodes during feeding.
