| Description: | Day 1: A cell suspension of HEK-Blue™-hTLR9 cells at ~450,000 cells per ml in test medium which contained 5% (v/v) heat inactivated FBS was prepared. 180 μl of cell suspension (~80,000 cells) was added per well of a flat-bottom 96-well plate and place in an incubator at 37° C. for overnight. Day 2: Test compounds were serially diluted in test medium, generally starting at 10 μM, and diluting by 3 fold in a 96 well master plate. 20 μl of diluted test compound was transferred using a 12 channel multi-channel pipet to the cell plate and incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour. Then 20 μl of an hTLR9 agonist (such as ODN 2006, 1 μM) was added to each well and the plate incubated at 37° C. overnight. Day 3: Invivogen's QUANTI-Blue™ was prepared following the manufacturer's instructions. 180 ml of resuspended QUANTI-Blue™ was added per well of a flat bottom 96-well plate. 20 μl per well of induced HEK-Blue™-hTLR9 cells supernatant was then added to the plate and the plate was incubated at 37° C. for 1-3 h. SEAP levels were determined using a spectrophotometer at 620 nm. |
