Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Btk Kinase Assay
Description:  The Btk kinase assay was performed using a ADP-Glo Btk kinase assay kit purchased from Promega (Madison, Wis.). The assay was conducted according to the protocols provided in the assay kit. In brief, the enzyme reaction was carried out in the kinase reaction buffer containing Btk (2 ng/μl), ATP (1.2 μM), poly GT peptide (0.3 μM), DTT (40 nM), MnCl2 (1.4 mM), and 1×kinase buffer (included in the kit) in the presence or absence of the tested articles at various concentrations in 384-well μlate at room temperature (22±1° C.) for 60 minutes. The final reaction volume for each reaction was 10 μl. Then, 4 μl of ADP-Glo reagent (included in the kit) was added into the reaction and the μlate was further incubated for another 40 minutes to terminate the reaction and deplete the remaining ATP. Finally, 10 μl of the kinase detection reagent was added into each reaction to simultaneously convert ADP to ATP and allow the newly synthesized ATP to be measured by a μlate-reading luminometer (Victor X5 2030 multilabel reader, PerkinElmer). IC50 value was calculated using appropriate programs in GraphPad Prism by plotting the logarithm of the concentration versus percent inhibition as compared with a vehicle (DMSO) control.
