| | KCa3.1 Assay |
| Description: | HEK293 cells over-expressing human KCa3.1 are used to measure the effects of compounds in inhibiting the KCa3.1 channel function. The assay is based on measuring the influx of Tl+ through KCa3.1 using a FLIPR dye assay (FLIPR Potassium Ion Channel Assay Kit #R8154 by Molecular Devices). The day before the assay HEK293/KCa3.1 cells are seeded on a 384 well plate. On the day of the assay, media is removed and replaced with Molecular Devices Potassium Ion Channel dye then incubated for 1 hour according to manufacturer's recommendations. The cells are then treated with compounds or DMSO control for 15 min, followed by addition of thallium (final concentration=1.5 mM) and ionomycin (final concentration=1 uM). The plate is read on HAMAMATSU 60000 measuring fluorescence signal for 50 seconds using (Em: 565-625 nm). Data analysis: HAMAMATSU 6000 data are exported using max-min value for frame 10 and 40 and corrected by spatial uniformity correction. Percent of control (POC) is calculated as 100×(max-minFlsample−max-minFllow)/(max-minFlhi−max-minFllow). Max-min Flsample is max-min value of each sample well containing test compound. Max-min Fllow is average max-min value of wells containing reference inhibitory compound. |
