| Description: | Briefly, 293-human or mouse P2X7 stable cells were incubated in sucrose buffer, pH 7.4 [KCl (5 mM), NaH2PO42H2O (9.6 mM), HEPES (25 mM), sucrose (280 mM), glucose (5 mM), CaCl2 (0.5 mM), and probenecid (0.1425 g in 3 mL 1N NaOH was added for 500 mL solution)] in 384-well plates. 93-rat P2X7 stable cells were incubated in HHPB (pH 7.4) [consisting of Hank's BSS (1X); HEPES (pH 7.4) (20 mM) (Sigma); probenecid (0.710 g/5 mL 1N NaOH) (Sigma); and BSA (0.05%) (Roche) which was added after the pH had been adjusted] in 384-well plates. Fluo-4 NW dye mix (Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, Oreg., USA) was prepared in buffer (see manufacturer's instructions). Cell plates were removed from the 37° C. incubator, the media discarded and then 30 μL of dye was added to each well. Plates were placed in the 37° C., non-CO2 incubator for 30 minutes and then room temperature for 30 minutes. Two sets of drug plates were prepared: A) Mixtures of compound plus agonist were prepared as follows, in order to determine close response: BzATP: 11 point ½ log, diluted in buffer, starting from 1 mM. Testing compounds: 11 point ½ log, diluted in 2% DMSO buffer starting from 10 μM. B) Agonist only mixture was prepared with BzATP at a single concentration in buffer (concentration determined by dose response). Compound mixtures (A) were added to assay plates containing cells and placed at room temperature for 30 minutes, then BzATP (B) was added. Fluorescence was read using the Tetra FLIPR® (Molecular Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif., USA) and IC50 values were calculated by standard methods to determine antagonist activity. |
