Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Filpr Assay
Description:  At the assay day cells were washed 3× with assay puffer, 20 μL buffer remained in the wells after washing. 10 μL Ca6 kit (Cat. R8191 Molecular Devices) loading buffer in HBSS/HEPES was added to the cells and the plates were incubated with lid for 120 minutes at 3775% CO2. 10 μL of compound or controls in HBSS/HEPES buffer/5% DMSO from the intermediate dilution plate were carefully added to the wells. Luminescence (indicating the calcium influx or release) was read on the FLIPR tetra device for 10 minutes to monitor the compound induced effects (e.g. agonism). Finally, 10 μL of the agonist AITC 50 μM dissolved in HBSS/HEPES buffer/0.05% DMSO (final concentration 10 μM) was added to the wells followed by an additional read on the FLIPR tetra device for 10 minutes. The area under the signal curve (AUC) after AITC addition was used for IC50/% inhibition calculations.
