Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro V2 Receptor Assay
Description:  Agonist activity of compounds on the human V2 receptor (h V2R) was determined in a transcriptional reporter gene assay by transiently transfecting an h V2 receptor expression DNA into HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney 293 cell line) cells in concert with a reporter DNA containing intracellular calcium responsive promoter elements regulating expression of firefly luciferase. See Boss, V., Talpade, D. J., Murphy, T. J. J. Biol. Chem. 1996, May 3; 271(18), 10429-10432 for further guidance on this assay. Cells were exposed to serial dilutions of compounds diluted 10-fold per dose for 5 h, followed by lysis of cells, determination of luciferase activity, and determination of compound efficacies and EC50 values through non-linear regression. Desmopressin (dDAVP) was used as an internal control in each experiment.
