| Description: | Quantitative detection of cAMP accumulation from cells expressing human GPR119 receptor is achieved using Perkin Elmer's LANCE cAMP-384 Kit (Cat#AD0264) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, HEK293 cells stably expressing a mutant form of the human GPR119 receptor as assay tool (Methionine 1 replaced with the amino acid sequence MKTIIALSYIFCLVFADYKDDDDA, and T327 & S329 changed to alanines; SEQ ID No. 1) are grown to 50-70% confluency in cell culture media (DMEM, 10% heat inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum, 50 I.U./mL penicillin, 50 ug/mL streptomycin, 10 mM HEPES, 20 ug/mL G418 Sulfate). On the day of the assay, GPR119 stable HEK293 cells are lifted from the tissue culture plate and 1000 cells/well are incubated along with various concentrations of test compounds for 20 min at 37° C. Detection Buffer (50 mM HEPES, 10 mM calcium chloride, 0.35% Triton X-100, 1 mg/mL BSA) containing cAMP-specific antibody is then added to all wells and allowed to equilibrate in the dark for 10 minutes at room temperature. Upon equilibration, Detection Buffer containing europium-labeled cAMP tracer complex is added to all wells and allowed to react for 1 hour at room temperature. After 1 hour, bound europium-labeled cAMP tracer is measured using a Perkin Elmer Envision plate reader. The quantity of cAMP generated in each well is derived from a standard curve. EC50 is determined using nonlinear regression analysis of the cAMP values over a range of agonist concentration (12 points spanning the range from 30 uM to 100 pM). |
