Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA)
Description:  The PDE4B and 4D assays use scintillation proximity assay (SPA) technology to measure the inhibition of human recombinant PDE4B and PDE4D enzyme activity by compounds in vitro. The PDE4B and 4D assays are run in parallel using identical parameters, except for the concentration of enzyme (32 pM PDE4B and 16 pM PDE4D). The assays are performed in a 384-well format with 50 μL assay buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5; 1.3 mM MgCl2; 0.01% Brij) containing enough PDE4B and PDE4D to convert 20% of substrate (1 μM cAMP consisting of 20 nM 3H-cAMP+980 μM cold cAMP) and a range of inhibitors. Reactions are incubated for 30 min at 25° C. The addition of 20 μL of 8 mg/mL yitrium silicate SPA beads (PerkinElmer) stops the reaction. The plates are sealed (TopSeal, PerkinElmer) and the beads are allowed to settle for 8 hrs, after which they are read on the Trilux Microbeta overnight.
