| | FLIPR Assay |
| Description: | The FLIPR protocol consists of two substance additions. Initially, the compounds to be tested (10 uM) are pipeted onto the cells and the Ca2+ influx is compared with the control (capsaicin 10 uM). Information is gained therefrom in percentage activation relative to the Ca2+ signal after addition of 10 uM of capsaicin (CP). After incubation for 5 minutes, 100 nM of capsaicin are applied and the influx of Ca2+ is likewise determined. Desensitizing agonists and antagonists lead to suppression of the Ca2+ influx. The percentage inhibition is calculated in comparison with the maximum inhibition achieved with 10 uM of capsaicin. |
