Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  AlphaScreen cAMP Assay
Description:  MIN6 cells [Miyazaki J et al. Endocrinology. 1990 July; 127(1):126-32] were stably transfected with an expression vector for human GPR119 cDNA (Acc. No. NP-848566). Min-6/hGPR119 cells are cultured in DMEM, 10% FBS, 50 uM beta-mercaptoethanol, 0.3 mg/mL Geniticin, 2 mM GlutaMAX at 37 C. 5% CO2. For the assay, the cells are placed in Optiplates (white, 384-well, 160W-barcoded, TC, sterile with lid, Cat. No. #6007688 (Perkin Elmer); 10000 cells/well; 50 ul). The plates covered with lids are then incubated for 24 hours at 37 C./5% CO2.After the medium has been sucked out of the wells completely, 10 ul of the test compound are added, the compounds are diluted beforehand with stimulating buffer (140 mM NaCl, 3.6 mM KCl, 0.5 mM NaH2PO4, 0.5 mM MgSO4, 1.5 mM CaCl2, 10 mM Hepes, 5 mM NaHCO3; pH 7.4. 0.5 mM IBMX and 0.1% BSA, the final DMSO concentration is 1%). After 45 minutes' incubation at RT, the cAMP concentrations are determined using the AlphaScreen cAMP Assay.
