Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Radioligand Binding Assay
Description:  Table 2: i. Prepare the assay buffer following the table below;Reagent ConcentrationTris 50 mMCaCl2  4 mMBSA 0.1% (w/v)Adjust pH to 7.4 followed by 0.2 μM sterile filtrationii. Preparation of 8 doses of reference and test compounds starting from 10 mM stock solution as requested by 5-fold serial dilutions with 100%;iii. Prepare (v/v) DMSO: a. Add 50 μl/well of 0.5% (v/v) PEI to UniFilter-96 GF/B plates. Seal the plates and incubate at 4° C. for 3 hrs; b. After incubation, wash the plates 3 times with ice-cold wash buffer (50 mM Tris, pH7.4);iv. Preparation of assay plates: a. Dilute cell membrane with assay buffer and add 330 μl/well to 96 round deep well plates to reach a concentration of 20 μg/well; b. Prepare 8 concentrations of reference or exemplary compounds of the application and add 110 μl/well to 96 round deep well plates; c. Dilute [3H]-ketanserin with assay buffer to 5 nM (5× final concentration) and add 110 μl/well to 96 round deep well plates.v. Centrifuge the plate at 1000 rpm for 30 secs and then agitate at 600 rpm, R.T. for 5 min.vi. Seal the plates and incubate the plate at 27° C. for 90 min.vii. Stop the incubation by vacuum filtration onto GF/B filter plates followed by 4 times washing with ice-cold wash buffer (50 mM Tris, pH7.4).viii. Dry the plates at 37° C. for 45 min.ix. Seal the filter plates and add 40 μl/well of scintillation cocktail.x. Read the plate by using a Microbeta2 microplate counter.
