Methods for the identification of compounds useful for the treatment of disease states mediated by prostaglandin D2

   
   

The present invention relates to the discovery that PDG.sub.2 is the nautral ligand for orphan receptor CRTH2, which interaction, it will now immediately be recognized, is important in the development of valuable pharmaceuticals. The present invention is therefore related to methods for screening for therapeutic compounds useful in the treatment of PGD.sub.2 -related disorders such as allergy, asthma and inflammation. Appropriate assay methodology is also disclosed.
