| | Binding Assay on Recombinant Human Histamine H4 Receptor |
| Description: | Receptor binding was assessed using isolated plasma membranes from SKNMC neuroblastoma cell lines stably expressing recombinant human H4 receptor. To isolate plasma membrane enriched in recombinant human H4 receptor, cells were collected from 100 culture dishes (150 mm) in PBS-EDTA. The cells were pellet by centrifugation (800 g) and resuspended in 5×TE buffer (50 mM Tris/5 mM EDTA). The cells were then homogenized and centrifuged at 1000 g for 10 min. The supernatant was collected and centrifuged for an additional 26000 g for 30 min. The supernatant was removed and the pellet was gently resuspended in 30 ml of 5×TE buffer. Protein concentration was then determined using Bradford protein assay (Bradford, M. M., Anal. Biochem., 1976, 72: 248-254). Isolated cell membranes were incubated with 2×KD (10 nM), [3H] histamine (Specific activity: 23 Ci/mmol), with or without test compounds for 45 min at 25° C. Nonspecific binding was defined with 100 μM cold histamine. Ki values were calculated based on an experimentally determined appropriate KD values according to Cheng and Prusoff (Biochem. Pharmacol. 1973, 22(23):3099-3108). Membranes were harvested by rapid filtration using the 96 well Brandel system or a cell harvester using a Whatman GF/C filter or filter plates treated with 0.5% polyethylenimine (PEI), and washed 4 times with ice-cold 50 mM Tris/5 mM EDTA buffer. Filters were then dried, mixed with scintillant and radioactive counts were determined. |
