Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  GTPgammaS Functional Assay (mu)
Description:  [35S]GTPgammaS functional assays were conducted using freshly thawed pt-receptor membranes prepared in-house from a cell line expressing recombinant mu opioid receptor in a HEK-293, CHO cell background, or purchased from a commercial source (Perkin Elmer, Shelton, Conn.; or DiscovRx, Fremont, Calif.). Assay reactions were prepared by sequentially adding the following reagents to binding buffer (100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2,20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) on ice (final concentrations indicated): membrane protein (0.026 mg/mL), saponin (10 mg/mL), GDP (3 mM) and [35S]GTPgammaS (0.20 nM; Perkin Elmer, Shelton, Conn.). The prepared membrane solution (190 ul/well) was transferred to 96-shallow well polypropylene plates containing 10 ul of 20x concentrated stock solutions of the agonist [D-Ala2, N-methyl-Phe4 Gly-ol5]-enkephalin (DAMGO) prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Plates were incubated for 30 min at about 25° C. with shaking. Reactions were terminated by rapid filtration onto 96-well Unifilter GF/B.
