Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA)
Description:  The total assay volume was about 100 μL in the following configuration: 2-μL compound in DMSO, 88 μL buffer with protein and probe and 10 μL of SPA beads. The compound was diluted in a master plate consisting of a 10-point dose response with a 3-fold compound dilution from 100 μM to 5 nM. Assays were run on a 96-well plate in which one column, designated as the high signal control, contained DMSO with no compound and another column, designated as the low signal control, contained no protein. Prior to plating out of a compound, a buffer solution, containing 25 mM TRIS pH 7.5 (Sigma), 150 mM NaCl (Sigma), 15% Glycerol (Sigma), 0.15% BSA (Sigma), 0.001% Tween-20 (Sigma), 150 nM Compound 120 and 100 nM HIF-2α HIS TAG-PASB Domain, was prepared and allowed to equilibrate for 30 minutes. Compounds that were to be tested were then plated in to a 96-well white clear bottom Isoplate-96 SPA plate (Perkin Elmer). To each compound, 88 μL of the buffer solution was then added. The plate was covered with a plastic cover and then aluminum foil, placed onto a shaker and equilibrated for 1 hour. After equilibration, 10 μL of a 2 mg/mL solution of YSi Cu His tagged SPA beads (Perkin Elmer) were then added to each well of the plate, covered and equilibrated for another 2-hours. The plates were then removed from the shaker, placed into a 1450 LSC and luminescence counter MicroBeta Trilux (Perkin Elmer) to measure the extent of probe displacement.
