Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition TR-FRET (Time Resolved FRET) Assay
Description:  This BTK competition assay measures compound potency (IC50) for the inactivated state of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase using FRET (F rster/Flouresence Resonance Energy Transfer) technology. The BTK-Eu complex was incubated on ice one hour prior to use at a starting concentration of 50 nM BTK-Bioease : 10 nM Eu-streptavidin (Perkin-Elmer Catalog AD0062). The assay buffer consisted of 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.15), 0.1 mM DTT, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mg/ml BSA with 3% Kinase Stabilizer (Fremont Biosolutions, Catalog # STB-K02). After 1 h, the reaction mixture from above was dilated 10 fold in assay buffer to make 5 nM BTK: 1 nM Eu-Streptavidin complex (donor fluorophore), 18 μl of a mixture of 0.11 nM BTK-Eu and 0.11 nM Kinase Tracer 1.78 (Invitrogen, Catalog # PV5593,) with BTK-Eu alone as no negative control, was then dispensed into 384-well flat bottom plates (Greiner, 784076). Compounds to be tested in assay were prepared as 10× concentrations and serial dilution in half-log increments was performed in DMSO so as to generate 10 point curves. To initiate the FRET reaction, compounds prepared as 10× stock in DMSO was added to the plates and the plates were incubated 18-24 h at 14° C.
