Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Binding Assay
Description:  The biochemical potency of compounds was determined using a proximity-based assay (ALPHASCREEN , Perkin Elmer, Waltham, Mass.) as described previously (Ullman E F et al., Luminescent oxygen channeling immunoassay: Measurement of particle binding kinetics by chemiluminescence. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 91, pp. 5426-5430, June 1994). To gauge the potency of inhibitors of binding to human integrin αvβ6, inhibitor compounds and integrin were incubated together with TGF-b1 LAP and biotinylated anti-LAP antibody plus acceptor and donor beads, following the manufacture's recommendations. The donor beads were coated with streptavidin. The acceptor beads had a nitrilotriacetic acid Ni chelator, for binding to a 6×His Tag on human integrin αvβ6. All incubations occurred at room temperatures in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 0.1% BSA supplemented with 1 mM each CaCl2 and MgCl2.The order of reagent addition was as follows:1. Alpha-v-beta-6 integrin, test inhibitor compound, LAP, biotinylated anti-LAP antibody and acceptor beads were all added together.2. After 2 hours, donor beads were added. After another 30 minute incubation, samples were then read.Integrin binding was evaluated by exciting donor beads at 680 nm, and measuring the fluorescent signal produced, between 520-620 nm, using a Biotek Instruments (Winooski, Vt., USA) SynergyNeo2 multimode plate reader.
