[Answered]: As a researcher with ACME pharmaceutical company,…

As a researcher with ACME pharmaceutical company, you are charged with determining whether their newest drug, called “EZ”, has undesirable side effects. From preliminary studies, you suspect that there is a cell uptake transporter, called OCT8, responsible for the toxic side effects of EZ. We discussed a number of different techniques and processes in the “Culturing and Visualizing Cells” and “Molecular Genetic Techniques” chapters using cells in culture, macromolecules in a test tube, and animal models. Using this information, thoroughly describe one technique or process that you could use to see if the OCT8 transporter was involved in the toxicity of EZ. Your answer should include: • the name of the technique or method • the reagents (small molecules, enzymes, dyes, etc) that you will need to perform this experiment • a relevant control • a very detailed description of the steps or methods you would use. You can use words, diagrams, flow charts, etc as all or part of you answer • a description of the potential outcomes, or what results would you see from your experiment if OCT8 was indeed responsible for the toxicity of EZ
