| | FLIPR Calcium 5 Assay |
| Description: | Cells of Chem3 Cell Line (HTS145C:Millipore) in which mGluR1 was stably expressed were adjusted to a density of 2×106/ml. 50 μl of the cells were plated in each well of a 96-well plate, and stabilized at 5% CO2 and 37° C. for 1 hr. The cells were allowed to react with an HBSS buffer containing a Ca2+ fluorescent dye (FLIPR Calcium 5 assay kit: Molecular Devices) under the conditions of 5% CO2 and 37° C. for 30 min. As a result of the reaction, the cells were labeled with the fluorescent dye. Separately from the 96-well plate containing the fluorescently labeled cells, another 96-well plate was prepared that contained L-Glutamate (final concentration=30 μM) activating mGluR1 and a blocking drug to be screened. Most cell-based HTS systems have liquid application systems necessary for drug injection but no liquid inhalation systems. For this reason, 25 μl of each of the blocking drug and L-Glutamate was prepared at a 6-fold higher concentration in an HBSS buffer and dilute |
