| | mGlu5 Ca2+ Flux Assay |
| Description: | HEK 293A cells stably expressing rat mGlu5 were plated in black-walled, clear-bottomed, poly-D-lysine coated 384-well plates in 20 μL of assay medium (DMEM containing 10% dialyzed FBS, 20 mM HEPES, 100 units/mL penicillin/streptomycin plus 250 ng/mL Fungizone, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate) at a density of 20K cells/well. The cells were grown overnight at 37° C. in the presence of 5% CO2. The next day, medium was removed and the cells incubated with 20 μL of 2.3 μM Fluo-4, AM prepared as a 2.3 mM stock in DMSO and mixed in a 1:1 ratio with 10% (w/v) pluronic acid F-127 and diluted in assay buffer (Hank's balanced salt solution, 20 mM HEPES, and 2.5 mM probenecid) for 45 minutes at 37° C. Dye was removed, 20 μL of assay buffer was added, and the plate was incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature. |
