Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Progesterone Receptor Binding Assay
Description:  Small molecules were tested for progersterone receptor (PR) binding using a modification of the LanthaScreen TR-FRET Progesterone Receptor Coactivator Assay (Thermofisher cat # A15903) where the fluorescein-labeled coactivator peptide was replaced with Fluormone AL-Red (Thermofisher cat # PV4294) to improve assay signal. Briefly, compounds were serially diluted in DMSO, then transferred into assay buffer (Thermofisher cat # PV4301+5 mM DTT) at a 1:10 dilution. 10 μl of compound was transferred to a 96 half-area black well plate (Corning cat #3694) in duplicate. 5 μl of PR-LBD protein (4 nM stock in assay buffer; Thermofisher cat # P2899) was added to each well. In addition 5 μl of a prepared mixture of Fluormone AL-Red (12 nM) and terbium-labeled anti-GST monoclonal antibody (mAb) (20 nM; Thermofisher cat # PV3550) in assay buffer was also added to each well. Plates were incubated at room temperature (RT) for 2 hours, and then TR-FRET emission ratio was measured using an EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader (Perkinelmer #2104-0010).
