Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Radioligand Binding Assay
Description:  Compounds were dissolved in 100% DMSO at a concentration 100 times the desired highest assay concentration, serially diluted 1:3 in 100% DMSO, and 0.4 ul/well of each solution was dispensed to a Nunc polypropylene, round bottom, 384-well plate. 100% inhibition is defined with 0.4ul/well of 1 mM fluoxetine dissolved in DMSO. 20 ul/well of a 2x membrane preparation (15 ug/ml in 50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl) and 20 ul/well of a 2x radioligand solution (520 pM [125I]RTI-55 in 50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl) were added to each well and the reaction incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. The contents of the assay plate were then transferred to a Millipore MultiscreenHTS GF/B filter plate which was pretreated with 0.5% PEI for at least one hour. The plate was vacuum filtered and washed with 7 washes of 100 uA/well 50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl chilled to 4 C.
