| Description: | Target compounds can be tested to determine their ability to bind with CXCR7 sites on MCF-7 and/or MDA-MB-435S CXCR7 transfected cells. Efficiency-maximized radioligand binding using filtration protocols as described in Dairaghi D J, et al., HHV8-encoded vMIP-1 selectively engages chemokine receptor CCR5. Agonist and antagonist profiles of viral chemokines., J. Biol. Chem. 1999 Jul. 30; 274(31): 21569-74 and Gosling J, et al., Cutting edge: identification of a novel chemokine receptor that binds dendritic cell- and T cell-active chemokines including ELC, SLC, and TECK., J. Immunol. 2000 Mar. 15; 164(6):2851-6 was used.In these assays, MCF-7 and/or MDA-MB-435S cells are interrogated with the target compounds and the ability of these compounds to displace 125I radiolabeled SDF-1 assessed using the protocol described in Dairaghi and Gosling. The target compounds are added to the plate to the indicated concentration and were then incubated with cells followed by the addition of radiolabeled chemokine (125I SDF-1) for 3 hr at 4° C. in the following binding medium (25 mM HEPES, 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 5 mM MgCl2 and 0.2% bovine serum albumin, adjusted to pH 7.1). All assays are then incubated for 3 hrs at 4° C. with gentle agitation. Following incubation in all binding assays, reactions are aspirated onto PEI-treated GF/B glass filters (Packard) using a cell harvester (Packard) and washed twice (25 mM HEPES, 500 mM NaCl, 1 mM CaCl2, 5 mM MgCl2, adjusted to pH 7.1). Scintillant (MicroScint 10, Packard) is added to the wells, and the filters counted in a Packard Topcount scintillation counter. Data are analyzed and plotted using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software). |
