| Description: | Human CHO cells expressing the recombinant human prostanoid EP2 receptor were suspended in assay medium (HBSS buffer (Invitrogen) containing 20 mM HEPES (pH7.4) and 500 μM isobutyl-methylxanthine IBMX) and plated out to yield approximately 1×104 cells/well in a 96-well. Following this, cells were incubated with agonists for 30 min in the presence of the test compounds. For stimulated control measurements, separate assay wells contain 10 μM PGE2 (control specific agonist). All incubations were carried out at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Following incubation, the amount of cAMP in each well was determined by HTRF method. The cells are lysed and the fluorescence acceptor (D2-labeled cAMP) and fluorescence donor (anti-cAMP antibody labeled with europium cryptate) are added. |
