Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  [3H]Serotonin Uptake Assay
Description:  The uptake assay was performed in reaction buffer containing 140 mM K2-tartrate, 10 mM Tricine, 10 mM Tris, and 5 mM MgCl2, pH 8.5. Liposomes (1 μl) were diluted into 200 μl of reaction buffer with 50 nM valinomycin and the indicated concentrations of the radiolabeled serotonin, usually 100 nM [3H]serotonin (PerkinElmer Life Sciences). Nonspecific accumulation of [3H]serotonin was measured in the presence of 5 μM reserpine or 15 μM nigericin and subtracted from the total transport. The reaction was stopped at the indicated time points by dilution of the mixture in 2 ml of ice-cold buffer and filtered on 0.22-μm GSWP (Millipore) filters. Radioactivity was measured using liquid scintillation.
