| Description: | A monoclonal HEK-293 cell line stably transfected with a cDNA encoding for the human mGlu5a receptor was generated; for the work with mGlu5 Positive Allosteric Modulators (PAMs), a cell line with low receptor expression levels and low constitutive receptor activity was selected to allow the differentiation of agonistic versus PAM activity. Cells were cultured according to standard protocols (Freshney, 2000) in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium with high glucose supplemented with 1 mM glutamine, 10% (vol/vol) heat-inactivated bovine calf serum, Penicillin/Streptomycin, 50 mg/ml hygromycin and 15 ug/ml blasticidin (all cell culture reagents and antibiotics from Invitrogen, Basel, Switzerland).About 24 hrs before an experiment, 5x104 cells/well were seeded in poly-D-lysine coated, black/clear-bottomed 96-well plates. The cells were loaded with 2.5 uM Fluo-4AM in loading buffer (1xHBSS, 20 mM HEPES) for 1 hr at 37° C. and washed five times with loading buffer. |
