| | Nuclear Hormone Receptor (NHR) Assay |
| Description: | Cell Handling: PathHunter NHR cell lines were expanded from freezer stocks according to standard procedures. Cells were seeded in a total volume of 20 μL into white walled, 384-well microplates and incubated at 37° C. for the appropriate time prior to testing. Assay media contained charcoal-dextran filtered serum to reduce the level of hormones present.Agonist Format: For agonist determination, cells were incubated with sample to induce response. Intermediate dilution of sample stocks was performed to generate 5× sample in assay buffer. 5 μL of 5× sample was added to cells and incubated at 37° C. or room temperature for 3-16 hours. Final assay vehicle concentration was 1%.Antagonist Format: For antagonist determination, cells were pre-incubated with antagonist followed by agonist challenge at the EC80 concentration. Intermediate dilution of sample stocks was performed to generate 5× sample in assay buffer. 5 μL of 5× sample was added to cells and incubated at 37° C. or room temperature for 60 minutes. Vehicle concentration was 1%. 5 μL of 6×EC80 agonist in assay buffer was added to the cells and incubated at 37° C. or room temperature for 3-16 hours.Signal Detection: Assay signal was generated through a single addition of 12.5 or 15 μL (50% v/v) of PathHunter Detection reagent cocktail, followed by a one hour incubation at room temperature. Microplates were read following signal generation with a PerkinElmer Envision™ instrument for chemiluminescent signal detection.Data Analysis: Compound activity was analyzed using CBIS data analysis suite (ChemInnovation, CA). |
