| Description: | To measure binding of 125I-TARC or 125I-MDC to cells expressing CCR4 (e.g., CEM cells (e.g., ATCC HB-12624)), the 125I-TARC or 125I-MDC is diluted to a concentration of approximately 200 pM in a buffered saline solution (e.g., RPMI supplemented with 0.5% BSA), and added to an equal volume of a suspension of cells (e.g., CEM cells at 5×106 cells/mL). The resulting mixture is incubated for a period of time (e.g., 2 hrs), and the unbound 125I-TARC or 125I-MDC is separated from the cells by filtration, e.g., by passage through GF/B filter plate (Packard Biosciences) pre-treated with 0.3% polyethyleneimine (Sigma), using a Packard Filtermate 96 (Packard Biosciences). The amount of 125I-TARC or 125I-MDC retained with the cells on the filterplate is measured by adding a small amount of scintillation fluid (e.g., 50 μL of Microscint-20 Packard Biosciences)), and reading scintillation on appropriate detection equipment, e.g., a Packard TopCount 383 (Packard Biosciences). |
