| | Calcium Influx Assay Based on Fluorescence |
| Description: | Ca2+ (calcium) influx assay is an experiment for measuring the activity of a positive allosteric modulator of mGluR5 receptor in which human mGluR5 receptor-overexpressed HEK293 cell line is used. The day before the experiment, cells were prepared in a cell culture medium (DMEM, 5% FBS) with the density of 80,000/well, and 100 μl of cells were dispensed into each well of a poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well plate. Cells were incubated in a 5% CO2, 37° C. incubator. The next day, the cell culture medium was removed from the plate, and 100 μl of 1× Fluo-4 calcium indicator diluted with a buffer (1× Hank's balanced salt solution, 20 mM HEPES, 2.5 mM probenecid) were added to each well and incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour. The compound stock solutions were prepared in 100% DMSO, and the compounds were serially diluted with a dilution to 6 or 7 concentrations (final concentration was 10 μM to 10 nM). The diluted compound solutions were added to the plate with 0.1 to 0.2% of final DMSO concentration. 1 hour after the addition of Fluo-4 calcium indicator, L-glutamate (EC20 concentration) and the test compound solutions were added to the plate, and Ca2+ reaction was then measured by FLIPR at room temperature. The activity of the compounds was standardized on the basis of the results of maximum value-minimum value of fluorescent reaction, and the activity value was calculated on the basis that no activity on glutamate EC20 is 0% and the reaction to glutamate maximum value is 100%. |
