Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Binding Assay
Description:  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. The binding of the test compound was measured in five different concentrations. 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).
