Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Tau binding assay
Description:  For displacement tau binding assay, unlabeled test compounds were dissolved in DMSO at 1 mM. Dilutions of tests compounds to various concentrations were made in 100% DMSO at 1000× final assay concentration and 0.225 μl aliquots were dispensed into assay plates. Brain homogenates were diluted to 0.5 mg/mL from original 30 mg/mL volume in Assay Buffer, and 200 μl were added to the assay plate for a final concentration of 100 μg wet weight/assay tube. [3H]-6 was prepared at 100× final concentration in Assay Buffer plus 20% DMSO and 25 μl was added to the assay plate for final assay concentration of 0.25 nM. The assay plate was incubated at room temperature (25° C.) for 90 minutes. Unbound and bound ligand were separated by filtration of bound onto GF/C filter plates (pre-treated for 30 min with 0.2% polyethyleninamine) using a Packard UniFilter Harvester and washing away unbound with 2.5 ml per well ice cold 5 mM Tris at pH 7.4. Filter plates were dried for 1 hour in a vacuum oven and 50 μl/well MicroScint-20 were added. Plates were counted 1 min per well by Packard Topcount. Total amount of radioligand used in the assay was determined by counting 25 μl of 10× ligand stock. Data was analyzed using Activity Base software to generate 4 p fit of dose responses; and, Ki values were calculated.
