| | MDM2-p53 Interaction Using a 96-Well Plate Binding Assay (ELISA) |
| Description: | The ELISA assay was performed in streptavidin coated plates which were preincubated with 200 μl per well of 1 μg ml−1 biotinylated IP3 peptide. The plates were ready to use for MDM2 binding after washing the plate with PBS.Compounds and control solutions in DMSO aliquoted in 96-well plates were pre-incubated in a final 2.5-5% (v/v) DMSO concentration at room temperature (for example 20° C.) for 20 min with 190 μl aliquots of optimized concentrations of in vitro translated MDM2, before transfer of the MDM2-compound mixture to the b-IP3 streptavidin plates, and incubation at 4° C. for 90 min. After washing three times with PBS to remove unbound MDM2, each well was incubated at 20° C. for 1 hour with a TBS-Tween (50 mM Tris pH7.5; 150 mM NaCl; 0.05% Tween 20 nonionic detergent) buffered solution of primary mouse monoclonal anti-MDM2 antibody (Ab-5, Calbiochem, used at a 1/10000 or 1/200 dilution depending on the antibody stock solution used), then washed three times with TBS-Tween before incubation for 45 mins at 20° C. with a TBS-Tween buffered solution of a goat-anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated secondary antibody (used at 1/20000 or 1/2000 depending on the antibody stock solution). The unbound secondary antibody was removed by washing three times with TBS-Tween. The bound HRP activity was measured by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL , Amersham Biosciences) using the oxidation of the diacylhydrazide substrate, luminol, to generate a quantifiable light signal. The percentage of MDM2 inhibition at a given concentration is calculated as the [1−(RLU detected in the compound treated sample RLU negative DMSO control)÷(RLU of DMSO positive and negative controls)]×100 or as the (RLU detected in the compound treated sample÷RLU of DMSO controls)×100. The IC50 was calculated using a plot of % MDM2 inhibition vs concentration and is the average of two or three independent experiments. |
