| | LANCE Ultra cAMP Assay |
| Description: | The potency of compounds of the invention as H3 receptor antagonists can be assessed by measuring the blockade of (R)-alpha-methylhistamine-mediated cAMP production utilizing a LANCE Ultra cAMP kit (PE #TRF0263) in CHO cells expressing human H3 receptors (GenBank: BC096840; Strausberg R L et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 99(26), 16899-16903; 2002).Protocol:1. Preparation of the stimulation buffer (30 ml): 29.4 ml HBSS (GIBCO #14025), 150 ul 1 M HEPES (GIBCO #15630), 30 ul 500 mM IBMX (CALBIOCHEM #410957) and 400 ul 7.5% BSA (GIBCO #10438-026).2. Preparation of assay plate: Different concentrations of the compounds of the invention (0.01-1000 nM), H3 positive controls and cAMP calibration standards; 3 mM Forskolin (CALBIOCHEM #344270); 5 uM (R)-alpha-methylhistamine (H3 receptor agonist); 1% DMSO (SIGMA #D2650); total volume: 95 nl.3. Preparation of the cell solution: Collect cells with stimulation buffer, final density: 100,000 cells/ml. |
