Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Competitive Binding Assay
Description:  PPARγ binding is measured by a TR-FRET competitive binding assay using Invitrogen LanthaScreen TR-FRET PPARγ Competitive Binding Assay (Invitrogen #4894). This assay uses a terbium-labeled anti-GST antibody to label the GST tagged human PPARγ ligand binding domain (LBD). A fluorescent small molecule pan-PPAR ligand tracer binds to the LBD causing energy transfer from the antibody to the ligand resulting in a high TR-FRET ratio. Competition binding by PPARγ ligands displace the tracer from the LBD causing a lower FRET signal between the antibody and tracer. The TR-FRET ratio is determined by reading the fluorescence emission at 490 and 520 nm using a Synergy2 plate reader (BioTek).
