Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibitory Activity
Description:  The Btk enzyme inhibitory activity was measured, based on the protocol provided by the manufacturer, using Btk (Invitrogen Corporation) and the Z′-LYTE Kinase Assay Kit-Tyr1 peptide (Invitrogen Corporation), which contained the following reagents: Tyr-1 peptide, Thy-1 phosphopeptide, 5× kinase buffer, ATP, development reagent B, development buffer, and stop reagent.5 μL/well of a solution of the test compound diluted with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), or DMSO, and 10 μL/well of the substrate/enzyme mixture solution were dispensed to a 96-well assay plate and a reaction was carried out for 20 minutes at 30° C. The substrate/enzyme mixture solution was prepared by dilution with the kinase buffer (DL-dithiothreitol (DTT, 2.7 mM), 1.33× kinase buffer) to provide a final concentration for the Tyr-1 peptide of 4 μM and a final Btk concentration of 5 nM. 5 μL/well of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP, final concentration=36 μM) was then added and a reaction was carried out for 1 hour at 30° C. After the completion of the reaction, 10 μL of a development solution, provided by diluting the development reagent B to 128× using the development buffer, was added and a reaction was carried out for an additional 1 hour at 30° C. The enzymatic reaction was then stopped by adding 10 μL of the stop solution. The fluorescence intensity at 445 nm and 520 nm in each well was measured using a Fusion Universal Microplate Analyzer (PerkinElmer Inc.) fluorescence plate reader. The percent phosphorylation was determined using the ratio of the emission at 445 nm (coumarin emission) to the emission at 520 nm (fluorescein emission) in accordance with the protocol provided with the kit.
