| Description: | For the adenosine A2A receptor radioligand binding assay, the following modifications were made to the general protocol. GF/C filters (Perkin Elmer, 6005174), presoaked in 0.01% Brij for 2 h at room temperature were used. Filters were washed six times with 0.5 mL of ice-cold washing buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4) and 50 μL of Microscint 20 (Packard) was added in each well. The plates were then incubated for 15 min on an orbital shaker and then counted with a TopCount for 1 min/well.Another radioligand binding assay was used to evaluate the binding affinity for the adenosine A2A receptor assay was performed in duplicate in the wells of a 384 plate. Assay buffer contained DPBS 500 mM, MgCl2 0.1 mM, and 1% DMSO. Membrane-bead suspension was prepared by mixing 25.98 μL of human adenosine A2A membrane preparation (Perkin Elmer, RBHA2AM400UA) at 33.4 pg/mL, 28 μL of ADA at 20 pg/mL, and 932 μL of SPA beads at 3.33 mg/mL) and incubated the mixture for 20 min at room temperature. Mixed 20 μL of radiotracer (3H-SCH 58261) at 15 nM to each well containing test articles at various concentrations and centrifuge the plate at 1000 rpm for 1 minute. Added 30 μL of the membrane-bead suspension to each well. Sealed the plates and incubated for 1 hr at room temperature with vigorous mixing on a plate mixer. Plates were read on Microbeta2 (Perkin Elmer, 2450-0010). |
