Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Binding Assay
Description:  The binding affinity of the compounds for a human 5-HT4 receptor was assayed according to the method as disclosed in the literature [Wyngaert et al., Journal of Neurochemistry, (1997) 69, 1810-1819]. For this purpose, COS-7 cells expressing the human 5-HT4 receptor were constructed and homogenized to obtain membrane homogenates which were then used in binding assay experiments. For the binding assay, the membrane homogenates were respectively mixed and incubated with different concentrations of test materials and [H3]-GR113808 (Amersham Biosciences). The concentrations of the individual test materials were set to 4 uM, 1 uM, 0.25 uM, and 0.0625 uM, respectively, and the concentration of [H3]-GR113808 was set to 0.595 nM. After the incubation was completed, the reaction products were collected in GF/B glass fiber filters using a Packard cell harvester, and the bound radioactivity was then determined using a liquid cell scintillation counter (Packard TopCount NXT).
