Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  JAK3 Enzyme Activity Assay
Description:  The ability of candidate compounds to interact with JAK3 is quantitated by a mobility shift assay using an LC3000 instrument developed by Caliper Life Sciences. This assay is based on mobility shift electrophoresis, in which fluorescently labelled product and fluorescently labelled substrate peaks are separated and detected independently. JAK3 product/substrate separation is obtained using the following instrument settings: Pressure=−1.4 psi, Downstream voltage=−2550V and Upstream voltage=−800V. The inhibitory potency of candidate compounds of JAK3 is measured in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% BSA, 0.0005% Tween-20, and 2% DMSO in the presence of 2.5 nM JAK3 (Life Technologies Catalog #PV3855), 1 mM SRCtide (Anaspec Catalog #AS-64106) and 16 mM ATP (Km level) using a 384-well plate format. Background signal is defined in the absence of enzyme and uninhibited signal is defined in the presence of vehicle (2% DMSO) alone. Compounds were evaluated in an 11 point dose-response ranging from 20 mM to 0.34 nM. IC50 values of compounds are determined using a 4 parameter logistical fit of emission ratio as a function of the concentration of compound.
