Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Measurement of TrkA Kinase-Inhibiting Activity Using Human TrkA-Expressing Cells
Description:  On the day before the assay, CellSenser TrkA-NFAT-b1a CHO-K1 cells were suspended in an assay medium (Opti-MEM1 Reduced Serum Medium (Invitrogen) containing 0.5% dialysed fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen), 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids (Invitrogen), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Invitrogen) and antibiotics (100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Invitrogen))) and plated at a density of 2.4×104 cells/40 μL/well in a 96-well clear bottom plate (Corning, Catalogue No.: 3882). In some wells were added only the assay medium at 40 μL/well (Cell-free). On the day of the assay, 10 mM of the present compound (DMSO solution) was distributed in a 96-well plate (Costar, Catalogue No.: 3363) and serially diluted with DMSO with the geometrical ratio of 3. The serial dilutions were diluted with the assay medium to 100-fold to prepare a solution of the present compound with a 10-fold concentration (DMSO concentration: 1%). To the plate where cells were plated was added the present compound at 5 μL/well and the plate was incubated in a CO2 incubator with 5% CO2, 95% Air at 37° C. for 30 minutes. For a control and a blank, the assay medium containing 1% DMSO was added at 5 μL/well in place of the solution of the present compound. Subsequently the assay medium containing NGF (Mouse 2.5 s, Natural, Invitrogen) was added to the plate at 5 μL/well (final concentration of NGF: 50 ng/ml) and the plate was incubated in a CO2 incubator with 5% CO2, 95% Air at 37° C. for 5 hours. For the blank group, the assay medium was added in place of NGF at 5 μL/well. A reporter assay detection reagent (10 μL/well) was added to the plate which was then incubated in the dark at room temperature for 120 minutes. The reporter assay detection reagent was prepared from LiveBLAzer -FRET B/G Loading Kit (Invitrogen). On the Analyst GT (Molecular Devices Japan, K.K.) the wells were irradiated with excitation light at 405 nm and the fluorescence intensities at 460 nm and 530 nm were measured.
