| Description: | The PDE4A3, PDE4B1, PDE4C1 and PDE4D3 assays use the Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA) technology to measure the inhibition of human recombinant PDE4A3, PDE4B1, PDE4C1, and PDE4D3 enzyme activity by compounds in vitro. The PDE4A3, PDE4B1, PDE4C1, and PDE4D3 assays are run in parallel using identical parameters, except for the concentration of enzyme (80 pM PDE4A3, 40 pM PDE4B1, 40 pM PDE4C1 and 10 pM PDE4D3). The assays are performed in a 384-well format with 50 μL assay buffer (50 mM TRIS pH 7.5; 1.3 mM MgCl2; 0.01% Brij) containing enough PDE4A3, PDE4B1, PDE4C1, and PDE4D3 to convert 20% of substrate (1 μM cAMP consisting of 20 nM 3H-cAMP+980 μM cold cAMP) and a range of inhibitors. Reactions are incubated for 30 min at 25° C. The addition of 20 μL of 8 mg/mL yttrium silicate SPA beads (PerkinElmer) stops the reaction. The plates are sealed (TopSeal, PerkinElmer) and the beads are allowed to settle for 8 hrs, after which they are read on the TriLux MicroBeta overnight. |
