Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  AXL Kinase Assay
Description:  The ability of compounds to inhibit the kinase activity of recombinant human baculovirus-expressed AXL was measured by homogeneous TRF (HTRF) using Cisbio's KinEASE assay system in white 384-well Optiplates. Assay buffer contained 1 mM DTT, 2 mM MnCl2, 2% DMSO, 50 nM supplement enzymatic buffer, and 1× enzymatic buffer. A 2× concentration of tyrosine kinase (TK) substrate-biotin/ATP mixture made in assay buffer was added to plates at 10 μL/well using the Multidrop Combi (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass.). The final concentrations were 0.3 μM TK substrate-biotin, and 1.3 μM ATP. Compounds (100 nL), diluted in 100% DMSO on the Biomek FX, (Beckman Coulter, Inc., Brea, Calif.), were transferred to the assay plates using the Biomek FX pintool (2.5% final DMSO in assay). A 2× concentration (final=12 ng/mL) of GST-AXL (diluted in assay buffer) was added to plates at 10 uL/well using the Multidrop Combi. Plates were sealed, briefly shaken and incubated at 25° C. for 30 minutes. A 4× stock of Streptavidin-XL665 (final=18.8 nM) and a 1:100 diluted stock of TK antibody-cryptate were made in HTRF detection buffer and mixed together just prior to adding 20 μL/well on the Multidrop Combi. Plates were sealed, briefly shaken and incubated at 25° C. for 1 hour. The fluorescence of the resulting solution was measured using the PerkinElmer EnVision 2102 multi-label plate reader (PerkinElmer, Waltham, Mass.) with an excitation wavelength of 337 nm (laser) and emission wavelengths of 590 and 665 nm. Raw data was expressed as the ratio of 665/590×10,000.
