Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition of Mast Cell Degranulation
Description:  Buffers and solutions: Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and 1 M HEPES were provided by the in-house service facility. Tyrode's buffer (TyB) consisted of Minimum Essential Medium without Phenol Red supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine and 20 mM HEPES. Lysis buffer consisted of 25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl. 5 mM EDTA and 0.1% (w/v) Triton X-100. DNP-HSA was dissolved to 1 mg/ml in water. MUG substrate solution consisted of 2.5 mM 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide in 0.05 M citrate, pH 4.5; stop solution was 0.1 M NaHCO3/0.1 M Na2CO3, pH 10.Consumables and equipment: For small-volume liquid handling procedures, Rainin LTS electronic pipettes were routinely used (Mettler-Toledo). Costar-Corning 24-well plates (3337) were centrifuged in an Eppendorf 5804 R centrifuge. A Heraeus B15 table top incubator was used for incubations at 37° C. under non-sterile conditions. Fluorescence was measured in black Nunc 96-well plates (237105) using a microplate reader (Tecan Safire) or FlexStation 3 (Molecular Devices) multi-mode plate reader. Cells were maintained in Hera Cell 240 CO2 incubators (Thermo Scientific). Serological pipettes (4487, 4488 and 4489) and cell culture flasks (431080) were from Corning-Costar, 1.5 and 2 ml microcentrifuge tubes (0030 120.086 and 0030 120.094) were from Eppendorf.
