| | Time Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET)-Based cAMP Immunoassay |
| Description: | Mouse R1.G1 cells (ATCC, Manassas, Va.) were grown in suspension in high glucose-DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Cellgro, Herndon, Va.) containing 10% horse serum and 2% glutaMax (Invitrogen, Carlsbad. Calif.) without added antibiotics. On the day of the experiment, cells were spun at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature and then washed once with HBSS (HEPES Buffered Saline Solution, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). Cells were then spun again and resuspended in stimulation buffer (HBSS with 0.05% FAF-BSA (Fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin, Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, Ind.), 5 mM HEPES) to 2 million cells per ml. Antibody supplied with the LANCE™ cAMP immunoassay kit was then added to the cells according to the manufacturer's instructions, and 12,000 cells per well were then added to the wells containing forskolin to a predetermined fixed final concentration (typically about 2.5 μM) and the previously determined amount of the synthetic peptide amide to be tested. The synthetic peptide amides were tested in a range of concentrations to determine potency. Cells were incubated with the synthetic peptide amide plus forskolin for about 20 minutes at room temperature. After incubation, cells are lysed by adding 12 μl of detection mix as supplied with the LANCE™ kit, followed by incubation for one hour at room temperature. Time resolved fluorescence was read using a 330-380 nm excitation filter, a 665 nm emission filter, dichroic mirror 380, and Z=1 mm. |
