Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  General RORgamma Gal4 Reporter Assay
Description:  Inverse agonist activity of potential ligands to RORγ was measured by inhibition of luminescence in a Gal4-luciferase reporter assay in Jurkat cells.Jurkat cells stably over-expressing the RORγ receptor, Jurkat pEx/Gal/hRORγ CLBD/HYG pG5luc/blast, were plated at a concentration of 10,000 cells/well in a 384-well solid white cell culture plate (Perkin Elmer #6007899) in assay buffer RPMI 1640 (Gibco 11875-085 1L) containing 0.1% BSA, 100×HEPES (Gibco 15360-080), 100 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco 11360-040), 50 mg/mL Hygromycin B (Invitrogen 10687-010) and 10 mg/mL blasticidin (Invitrogen R210-01). 100 nL of test compound in a 3-fold serial dilution, with final concentrations ranging from 40 μM to 0.67 nM, were added to the cells which were then incubated overnight.The following day, cells were lysed with 10 μL of Steady-Glo Luciferase Assay System (Promega Cat. No. EZ550), and analyzed immediately. IC50 values were determined. The IC50 value is defined as the concentration of test compound needed to reduce luciferase activity by 50% and is calculated using the four parameter logistic equation to fit the normalized data.
