Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Thallium Flux Assay
Description:  The ROMK channel functional thallium flux assay is performed in 384 wells, using the FLIPR-Tetra instrument. HEK-hKir1.1 cells are seeded in Poly-D-Lysine microplates and kept in a 37° C.-10% CO2 incubator overnight. On the day of the experiment, the growth media is replaced with the FluxOR™ reagent loading buffer and incubated, protected from light, at ambient temperature (23-25° C.) for 90 min. The loading buffer is replaced with assay bufferątest compound followed by 30 min incubation at ambient temperature, where the Thallium/Potassium stimulant is added to the microplate. The fluorescence intensity of wells containing 3 μM of a standard control ROMK inhibitor of the present invention is used to define the ROMK-sensitive component of thallium flux. Fluorescence in the presence of test compounds is normalized to control values to provide % fluorescence change. IC50 values represent the concentration of compound that inhibits 50% of the ROMK thallium flux signal.
