Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  cAMP Assay
Description:  cAMP assays were performed in a radioimmunoassay format using the Flashplate Adenylyl Cyclase Activation Assay System with [125I]-cAMP (NEN SMP004, PerkinElmer Life Sciences Inc., Boston, Mass.), according to the manufacturers instructions. For this assay, HEK-293 cell lines stably expressing cloned human β1 or β2 receptors were grown to near confluency in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and Geneticin (500 μg/mL); or CHO-K1 cell lines stably expressing cloned human β3 adrenergic receptors were grown to near confluency in Hams F-12 media supplemented with 10% FBS and Geneticin (250 μg/mL). Cells were rinsed with PBS and detached in dPBS (Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline, without CaCl2 and MgCl2) containing 2 mM EDTA or Trypsin-EDTA solution (0.05% trypsin/0.53 mM EDTA). After counting cells in Coulter cell counter, cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 1,000 rpm and re-suspended in stimulation buffer containing TBMX (PerkinElmer Kit) pre-warmed to room temperature to a concentration of 1.6×106 to 2.8×106 cells/mL. About 40,000 to 80,000 cells per well were used in this assay. Test compounds (10 mM in DMSO) were diluted into PBS containing 0.1% BSA in Beckman Biomek-2000 and tested at 11 different concentrations ranging from 100 μM to 1 pM. Reactions were incubated for 10 min at 37° C. and stopped by adding 100 μL of cold detection buffer containing [125I]-cAMP (NEN SMP004, PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Boston, Mass.).
