| | Human mu-Opioid Receptor Radioligand Assay |
| Description: | To investigate binding properties of test compounds to human μ-opioid receptor, transfected CHO-K1 cell membranes and [3H]-DAMGO (Perkin Elmer, ES-542-C), as the radioligand, were used. The assay was carried out with 20 μg of membrane suspension, 1 nM of [3H]-DAMGO in either absence or presence of either buffer or 10 μM Naloxone for total and non-specific binding, respectively. Binding buffer contained Tris-HCl 50 mM, MgCl2 5 mM at pH 7.4. Plates were incubated at 27° C. for 60 minutes. After the incubation period, the reaction mix was then transferred to MultiScreen HTS, FC plates (Millipore), filtered and plates were washed 3 times with ice-cold 10 mM Tris-HCL (pH 7.4). Filters were dried and counted at approximately 40% efficiency in a MicroBeta scintillation counter (Perkin-Elmer) using EcoScint liquid scintillation cocktail. |
