| Dopamine D2 Receptor Binding Assay |
Description: | The assay was performed according to the method by Kohler et al. (Kohler C, Hall H, Ogren S O and Gawell L, Specific in vitro and in vivo binding of 3H-raclopride. A potent substituted benzamide drug with high affinity for dopamine D-2 receptors in the rat brain. Biochem. Pharmacol., 1985; 34: 2251-2259). The binding assay was performed using 40 ul of the membrane specimen, 20 ul of [3H]-raclopride (final concentration 1 to 2 nM), 20 ul of a test drug and 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (containing 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4) so that the total amount was 200 ul (final dimethylsulfoxide concentration 1%). The reaction was performed at room temperature for 1 hour and terminated by conducting suction filtration with a cell harvester on a glass fiber filter plate. The filter plate made of glass fiber was washed with 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4), and after dried, a microplate liquid scintillation cocktail was added. |
