Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  hERG assay
Description:  The inhibition of activity of hERG (human ether-a-go-go related gene) potassium channel by the compounds was evaluated by using an automatic whole-cell patch clamp system (QPatch 48 HT, Sophion Bioscience) that can directly measure the flow of ions through the potassium channel in cells. A CHO-K1 cell line stably expressing human hERG cDNA (Kv11.1, KCNH2) was used. The composition of the intracellular solution (mM) used for the analysis is 70 KF, 60 KCl, 15 NaCl, 5 HEPES, 5 EGTA, 5 MgATP, pH 7.3 by KOH. The composition of the extracellular solution (mM) used for the analysis is 137 NaCl, 4 KCl, 1 MgCl,1.8 CaCl2), 10 HEPES, 10 glucose, pH 7.35 by NaOH.
