Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Spa Binding Assay
Description:  The binding of potential ligands to RORγ is measured by competition with [3H] 25-hydroxycholesterol using a scintillation proximity assay (SPA) binding assay. The ligand binding domain of human RORγ (A262-S507) with an N-terminal His tag is expressed in E. coli and purified using nickel affinity chromotography. 50 nM RORγ (A262-S507) is incubated with test compound at varying concentrations for 15 min at room temperature in PBS buffer containing 0.5% fatty acid free BSA. 10 nM of [3H] 25-hydroxycholesterol is then added, and the reaction is incubated for 15 min. 4 mg/mL of Ysi Copper HIS-TAG SPA Beads (Perkin Elmer) are added, and the mixture is incubated for 30 min. The reaction is read on a MicroBeta Trilux scintillation plate reader (Perkin Elmer).
