Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibitory Activity Assay
Description:  TrkA, TrkB and TrkC:A testing platform for TrkA, TrkB and TrkC kinase activity was established based on Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) assay, and the activities of the compounds were tested using the platform. The compounds were subjected to three-fold gradient dilution with 100% DMSO with a starting concentration of 1 mM (11 concentrations in total). 4 μL of diluted sample for each concentration was added to 96 μL of reaction buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM NaVO3, 0.001% Tween-20, 0.01% BSA and 1 mM DTT) and mixed homogeneously to be used as a 4* compound. The reaction buffer was used to formulate 2* TrkA, TrkB and TrkC kinases (purchased from Carna Biosciences 08-186, 08-187, 08-197, and the final concentrations thereof were 0.5 nM, 0.1 nM, and 1 nM, respectively) and 4* substrate mixture (ATP+TK peptide) (wherein the final concentrations of ATP were 40 μM, 50 μM, and 20 μM, respectively; TK peptide, HTRF KinEASE -TK, was purchased from Cisbio, and the final concentration thereof was 100 nM) for use. 2.5 μL of the 4* compound was added to a 384-well plate (OptiPlate-384, purchased from PerkinElmer), and then 5 μL of the 2* TrkA, TrkB and TrkC kinases were added, and mixed homogeneously by centrifugation. Then 2.5 μL of the 4* substrate mixture was added to initiate the reaction (the total reaction volume is 10 μL). The 384-well plate was placed in an incubator and incubated for 60 min at 23° C. Then the reaction was terminated by adding 5 μL of Eu3+ cryptate-labeled anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (HTRF KinEASE -TK, purchased from Cisbio), and 5 μL of Streptavidin-XL-665 (HTRF KinEASE -TK, purchased from Cisbio). After incubated for 1 hr in the incubator, the fluorescence values were read on Envision (purchased from PerkinElmer).
