| Comments: | Assay Overview: The purpose of this assay is to determine dose response curves for compounds identified as active in a previous set of experiments entitled, "Fluorescence-based primary cell-based high throughput screening assay to identify agonists of the Oxytocin Receptor (OXTR)" (AID 2435), and that confirmed activity in a set of experiments entitled, "Fluorescence-based cell-based high throughput confirmation assay for agonists of the Oxytocin Receptor (OXTR)" (AID 434963). In this assay a CHO cell line that stably expresses OTR is incubated with a fluorescent, cell permeable calcium indicator dye (Fluo-8), followed by the addition of test compounds. The dye serves to monitor levels of intracellular calcium in the CHO-OTR cells. As designed, compounds that act as OTR agonists will increase calcium mobilization, resulting in increased relative fluorescence of the indicator dye, and increased well fluorescence. Compounds were tested in triplicate using a 10-point, 1:3 dilution serie | |
