Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  In Vitro Assay
Description:  The in vitro affinity of the compounds of the present invention for the CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors was determined on a functional test of the beta -arrestin recruitment after receptor activation type.It was demonstrated that the activation by CXCL8 of the CXCR2 receptor in cells of the PathHunter HEK293-CXCR2 line or of the CXCR1 receptor in cells of the U2OS h CXCR1 beta -arrestin line results in the recruitment of beta -arrestin (Richardson et al. 2003 Role of the cytoplasmic tails of CXCR1 and CXCR2 in mediating leukocyte migration, activation, and regulation.>>J. Immunol. 170: 2904-2911).In order to evaluate the direct interaction of the CXCR2 or CXCR1 receptor with beta -arrestin 2, a beta -arrestin 2 recruitment test for CXCR2 or CXCR1 based on beta -galactosidase enzyme complementation (Olson K R, Eglen R M. Beta galactosidase complementation: a cell-based luminescent assay platform for drug discovery. Assay Drug Dev Technol. 2007 February; 5(1); 137-44).
