| Description: | Fractions of cell cytosol (106 cell/point) were incubated for 24 hr at 4° C. with 1 nM [3H]methyltrienolone in the absence or presence of the test compound in a buffer containing 25 mM Hepes-Tris (pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM Na2MoO4, 2 mM DTT, 5 μM triamcinolone acetonide, and 10% glycerol. Nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 1 μM testosterone. Following incubation, the samples were filtered rapidly under vacuum through glass fiber filters (GF/B, Packard) presoaked with 0.3% PEI and rinsed several times with ice-cold 50 mM Tris —HCl using a 96-sample cell harvester (Unifilter, Packard). The filters were dried then counted for radioactivity in a scintillation counter (Topcount, Packard) using a scintillation cocktail (Microscint 0, Packard). The results are expressed as a percent inhibition of the control radioligand specific binding. The standard reference compound is testosterone, which is tested in each experiment at several concentrations to obtain a competition curve from which its IC50 is calculated. |
