Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  transient transactivation assay
Description:  The primary screen was performed by transient transactivation assays. These cell-based assays were carried out using Cos-7 cells transfected with a chimeric human RORγ-Gal4 receptor expression plasmid and a 5Gal4 pGL3 TK Luc reporter plasmid. Transfections were performed by a chemical agent (Jet PEI). Transfected cells were distributed in 384-wells plates and were allowed to recover for 24 h. The culture medium was then removed and fresh medium containing the compounds to be tested was added (final concentration ranging from 10−4 M to 3 10−10 M). After an overnight incubation, luciferase expression was measured by adding SteadyGlo according to the manufacturer's instructions (Promega). T0901317 at 10−5 M was used as reference. Results were expressed as fold induction compared to basal level or as percentage activity compared to references taken as 100% (basal) or 0% (T0901317). Dose-effect curves and IC50 were calculated using the software Assay Explorer (MDL).
