| | A2B Filter Binding Assay |
| Description: | Assays are conducted in deep well polypropylene plates (Greiner 786201) in a final volume of 550 μL. Test compounds are first serially diluted in DMSO and 5.5 ul is then added to the plate wells before the addition of other reaction components. The final concentration of DMSO is 3%. HEK293 cell membranes overexpressing the human adenosine receptor A2B (Perkin Elmer ES-113-M400UA) are diluted to 40 μg/mL in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.0, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA (Assay buffer). [3H] 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (Perkin Elmer NET974001MC) is diluted in assay buffer+22% DMSO to 24.2 nM, and then further diluted to 1 nM by addition to the diluted membranes. 545 μl of the membrane and ligand mix is added to the assay wells and incubated on a shaker at room temperature for 1 hour. The membrane mix is then filtered over a UniFilter GF/C filter plate (Perkin Elmer 6005174) pre-soaked in 50 mM HEPES pH 6.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA 0.5% BSA and then washed with 5 mL ice cold 50 mM HEPES pH 6.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA 0.2% BSA. 50 μl MicroScint cocktail (Perkin Elmer 6013621) is added and plates are read on a Topcount NXT FS (Perkin Elmer). Percent binding of the [3H] ligand is calculated, where 1000 nM of LUF 5834 (Tocris 4603) control displaces the ligand 100% and 3% DMSO has 0% displacement. |
