Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Assay PDE10A
Description:  Rat recombinant PDE10A (rPDE10A2) was expressed in Sf9 cells using a recombinant rPDE10A baculovirus construct. Cells were harvested after 48 h of infection and the rPDE10A protein was purified by metal chelate chromatography on Ni-sepharose 6FF. Tested compounds were dissolved and diluted in 100% DMSO to a concentration 100 fold of the final concentration in the assay. Compound dilutions (0.4 μl) were added in 384 well plates to 20 μl of incubation buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.8, 8.3 mM MgCl2, 1.7 mM EGTA). 10 μl of rPDE10A enzyme in incubation buffer was added and the reaction was started by addition of 10 μl substrate to a final concentration of 60 nM cAMP and 0.008 μCi 3H-cAMP. The reaction was incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature. After incubation, the reaction was stopped with 20 μl of stop solution consisting of 17.8 mg/ml PDE SPA (scintillation proximity assay) beads. After sedimentation of the beads during 30 minutes the radioactivity was measured in a Perkin Elmer Topcount scintillation counter and results were expressed as cpm. For blanc values the enzyme was omitted from the reaction and replaced by incubation buffer. Control values were obtained by addition of a final concentration of 1% DMSO instead of compound. A best fit curve is fitted by a minimum sum of squares method to the plot of % of control value subtracted with blanc value versus compound concentration and the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value is derived from this curve.
