Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  A study on inhibition of protein kinases activity at in vitro biochemical levelMaterial and method: kinases such as c-Met, VEGFR-2, Axl and RET, obtained from Invitrogen; HTRF KinEASE; TK kit (Cisbio Company); 384-well plate (Greiner Company); ATP (Sigma Company), MgCl2 (Sigma Company); PHERAstar FS multifunctional plate reader (BMG Company); conventional centrifuge (StaiteXiangyi Company); incubator (Binder Company). Dilution and storage of compounds: depending on solubility, the test compounds are prepared as stock solutions of 0.5-10 mmol/L with dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), and aliquots of the stock are stored at −20° C.;Preparation of working solution of the compounds: Before test, aliquots of the compounds are removed from the refrigerator, and diluted with pure DMSO to 50× of the level needed; and then the compounds are diluted with deionized water to 4× of the level needed;Preparation of 1.33× enzymatic buffer: 5× enzymatic buffer (from HTRF kit) is diluted to 1.33× with deionized water, and appropriate components of the final level 1.33× are added: 1.33 mmol/L dithiothreitol (DTT) and 1.33 mmol/L MgCl2;Preparation of kinase working solution: Met is diluted to 2× final level required, 0.2 ng/μL, with 1.33× enzymatic buffer;Preparation of substrate working solution: the substrate labeled with biotin (from HTRF kit) and ATP (10 mM) are diluted with 1.33× enzymatic buffer to prepare a mixture at 4× of the final level required;Preparation of the testing working solution: Streptavidin-XL665, 16.67 μmol/L is diluted with HTRF test buffer to 4× of the final level required, and then mixed with antibody-Cryptate of the same volume (both from the HTRF kit).Enzymatic reaction step: 4 μl of kinase working solution is added to each well of the low volume 384-well plate. Meanwhile, 4 μL 1.33× enzymatic buffer is added as the negative control. 2 μL compound working solution is added into each well, and 2 μL 8% DMSO in water is added as zero compound level control (i.e., positive control). At 25° C. (or 30 C), incubate for 5-10 min; add 2 μL substrate working solution into each well to initiate the enzymatic reaction. Allow to react while shaking at 25° C. (or 30° C.) for 15-60 min.
