| Description: | 1. Seed cells on an EP2 or EP4 STEP plate at a density of 40,000-80,000 cells/well in 200 uL of reduced serum medium containing 0.5% FBS. Place the plate in a 37° C. incubator with 5% CO2 and incubate overnight. 2. After 16-18 hours of incubation, aspirate the culture media from each well. 3. Add 200 ul of culture medium containing 500 uM IBMX (an inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase) and different concentration of test compounds to the assigned wells. For each test compound, at least 8 concentrations starting at highest 10 M and lowest 0.01 pM were tested. In addition each concentration had triplicates. A PGE2 curve (concentrations from lowest to highest, 0 pM, 0.384 pM, 1.92 pM, 9.6 pM, 48 pM, 240 pM, 1200 pM, and 6000 pM) was always run in parallel with test compounds. 4. Incubate the cells in a cell culture incubator for 30 minutes. 5. Centrifuge the plate at 1,000x rpm for 10 minutes. 6. Aspirate the supernatant. |
