| | 3H-cGAMP Filtration Binding Assay |
| Description: | 16 nM of [3H] c-GAMP ligand was prepared by diluting into assay buffer, and 50 uL of this working stock was manually added to each well of the assay plate. After ligand addition, 2 uL of either titrated test compound, DMSO control (Sigma #276855), or cold cGAMP control (prepared in-house) was added to the appropriate wells using a Biomek FX. The serially titrated compound was prepared on a Hamilton STARPlus CORE in a 96-well plate (Greiner, #651201) using a 1:3 ten-point dose response format. Following compound addition, a 2.2 ug/ml working concentration of STING membrane (SEQ. ID. No. 3) was prepared by diluting concentrated membrane into assay buffer (lx PBS; Invitrogen # SH30028.02) and douncing 7× using a manual tissue homogenizer (Wheaton, #357546). 148 uL of this prepared membrane was then manually added to each well of a 96-well deep-well polypropylene plate (Fisher Scientific, #12-566-121). Compound, ligand, and membrane then incubated for 60 min at RT before the contents of each assay plate were filtered through a 96-well GF/B filter plate (PerkinElmer, #6005250) using a TomTec MachIII Cell Harvester equipped with 20 mM HEPES buffer (Fisher Scientific, # BP299500). The filter plates were then dried at 55° C. for 30 min using a pressurized VWR oven before 30 uL of Ultima GoldF scintillate was added to each well. Tritium levels for each reaction well were then measured using a PerkinElmer TopCount plate reader. |
