Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) binding assay
Description:  The following assay and stock buffers were prepared for use in the assay: (a) Stock buffer: 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH=7.5+150 mM NaCl, filtered, sterilized, and stored at 4° C.; and (b) 1× assay buffer, where the following ingredients were added fresh to stock buffer: 2 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 0.0025% Tween-20, 0.1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA). The 1×Tb-Mcl-1+Cy5 Bim peptide solution was prepared by diluting the protein stock solution using the 1× assay buffer (b) to 25 pM Tb-Mcl-1 and 8 nM Cy5 Bim peptide. Using the Acoustic ECHO, 100 nL of 100× test compound(s) were dispensed into individual wells of a white 384-well Perkin Elmer Proxiplate, for a final compound concentration of lx and final DMSO concentration of 1%. Inhibitor control and neutral control (NC, 100 nL of 100% DMSO) were stamped into columns 23 and 24 of assay plate. Into each well of the plate was then dispensed 10 μL of the 1×Tb-Mcl-1+Cy5 Bim peptide solution. The plate was centrifuged with a cover plate at 1000 rpm for 1 minute, then incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature with plates covered. The TR-FRET signal was read on an BMG PHERAStar FSX MicroPlate Reader at room temperature using the HTRF optic module (HTRF: excitation: 337 nm, light source: laser, emission A: 665 nm, emission B: 620 nm, integration start: 60 μs, integration time: 400 is).
