Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  FlexStation-Ca2+ Influx Assay
Description:  On the day of the assay, after removal of the growth media, the cells were washed once with an assay buffer (7 mM Tris-Cl, 20 mM HEPES, 20 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 0.8 mM MgSO4, 4 mM CaCl2, 120 mM NMDG, 5 mM D-glucose, pH 7.4), followed by addition of about 100 ul per well of a Calcium-3 dye diluted with the assay buffer, and storage at room temperature for about 1 hour. A test compound (10 mM stock in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)) was diluted with the assay buffer to various concentrations, from the highest at about 40 μM to be lower by ⅓, and PNU-120596 (available from Sigma) for amplifying Ca2+ permeability signaling was diluted to about 30 μM with the assay buffer. Epibatidine (available from Sigma) in a final concentration of about 1 μM was used as a positive control group.
