Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Dose Response Assay
Description:  Harvested cells with 0.025% trypsin/EDTA. Resuspended cells in growth media without selection antibiotics. Measured cell density and diluted to 2.4×10^5 cells/ml in media containing 1 μg/ml Doxycycline Plate 25 μl/well into 384 well black/clear tissue culture-treated plates. Incubated overnight at 37° C. Growth media was removed from the cell plates (20 μl) and 20 μl of the Replacement Buffer was added followed by addition of 25 μl of diluted dye. All three steps were performed using a Plate Washer BioTek 407. The plates were then incubated for 30' at RT. After incubation, both the cell and compound plates were brought to the FLIPR and 20 μl of the diluted compounds/antagonist/bk were transferred to the cell plates by the FLIPR. Plates were then incubated for 30' at room temperature. After 30' incubation, plates were returned to the FLIPR and 20 ul of 4.5× Cinnamaldehyde was added to the cell plates. During the compound addition as well as agonist addition, fluorescence readings were taken simultaneously from all 384 wells of the cell plate every 1.5 seconds. Five readings were taken to establish a stable baseline, then 20 μl of sample was rapidly (30 μl/sec) and simultaneously added to each well of the cell plate. The fluorescence was continuously monitored before, during and after sample/agonist addition for a total elapsed time of 100 seconds (compound addition) and 120 seconds (agonist addition).
