Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Binding Assay
Description:  α2δ-1: Binding Assay to Human α2δ-1 Subunit of Cav2.2 Calcium Channel.Human α2δ-1 enriched membranes (2.5 μg) were incubated with 15 nM of radiolabeled [3H]-Gabapentin in assay buffer containing Hepes-KOH 10 mM, pH 7.4.NSB (non specific binding) was measured by adding 10 μM pregabalin. After 60 min incubation at 27° C., binding reaction was terminated by filtering through Multiscreen GF/C (Millipore) presoaked in 0.5% polyethyleneimine in Vacuum Manifold Station, followed by 3 washes with ice-cold filtration buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4.Filter plates were dried at 60° C. for 1 hour and 30 μl of scintillation cocktail were added to each well before radioactivity reading.Readings were performed in a Trilux 1450 Microbeta radioactive counter (Perkin Elmer).
