| Receptor Binding Assay |
Description: | 5-HT2A: The binding assay was performed using 40 μl of the membrane specimen, 20 μl of [3H]-Ketanserin (final concentration 1 to 3 nM), 20 μl of a test drug and 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4) so that the total amount was 200 μl (final dimethylsulfoxide concentration 1%). The reaction was performed at 37° C. for 20 minutes and terminated by conducting suction filtration with a cell harvester on a glass fiber filter plate.The filter plate made of glass fiber was washed with 50 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer (pH 7.4), and after dried, a microplate liquid scintillation cocktail was added and the radioactivity was measured with a microplate scintillation counter. Radioactivity in the presence of 10 μM spiperone was assumed as nonspecific binding. |
