| Description: | The binding assay was carried out by the method based on that of Tahara et al. (Tahara A et al., Brit. J. Pharmacol. 125, 1463-1470 (1998)). The incubation buffer was: 50 mM Tris, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.4. In the assay mixture (200 μl), membranes (26 g protein in incubation buffer) from CHO-K1 cells with stably expressed human V1b receptors (cell line hV1b_3H2_CHO) were incubated with 1.5 nM3H-AVP (8-Arg-vasopressin, PerkinElmer, NET 800) in incubation buffer (50 mM Tris, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.4) (total binding) or additionally with increasing concentrations of test substance (displacement experiment). The nonspecific binding was determined with 1 μM AVP (Fluka 94836). All determinations were carried out as duplicate determinations. After incubation (60 minutes at room temperature), the free radioligand was filtered off by vacuum filtration (Tomtec Mach III) through Wathman GF/B glass fiber filter plates (UniFilter, PerkinElmer 6005177). The liquid scintillation measurement took place in a Microbeta TriLux 12 (Wallac). |
