| | E-Selectin Activity - Binding Assay |
| Description: | The inhibition assay to screen for and characterize glycomimetic antagonists of E-selectin is a competitive binding assay, which allows the determination of IC50 values. E-selectin/Ig chimera was immobilized in 96 well microtiter plates by incubation at 37° C. for 2 hours. To reduce nonspecific binding, bovine serum albumin was added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. The plate was washed, and serial dilutions of the test compounds were added to the wells in the presence of conjugates of biotinylated, sLea polyacrylamide with streptavidin/horseradish peroxidase and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature.To determine the amount of sLea bound to immobilized E-selectin after washing, the peroxidase substrate, 3,3′,5,5′ tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was added. After 3 minutes, the enzyme reaction was stopped by the addition of H3PO4, and the absorbance of light at a wavelength of 450 nm was determined. The concentration of test compound required to inhibit binding by 50% was determined and reported as the IC50 value for each glycomimetic E-selectin antagonist as shown in the table below. |
