| | FLIPR (Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader) Assay |
| Description: | Automated FLIPR (Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader) technology was used to screen for inhibitors of VEGF induced increases in intracellular calcium levels in fluorescent dye loaded endothelial cells. HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) (Clonetics) were seeded in 96-well fibronectin coated black-walled plates overnight at 37 °C./5% CO2. Cells were loaded with calcium indicator Fluo-4 for 45 minutes at 37 °C. Cells were washed 4 times (Original Cell Wash, Labsystems) to remove extracellular dye. Test compounds were reconstituted in 100% DMSO and added to the cells to give a final DMSO concentration of 0.1%. For screening, cells were pre-incubated with test agents for 30 minutes, at a single concentration (10 μM) or at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 10.0 μM followed by VEGF stimulation (5 ng/mL). Changes in fluorescence at 516 nm were measured simultaneously in all 96 wells using a cooled CCD camera. |
