| Description: | In a total volume of 0.15 mL in low-binding 96-well plates (Corning #3605), twelve concentrations of test compound were competed against 10 nM 3H-dihydrotetrabenezine (American Radiolabeled Chemicals, Kd 2.6 nM) on rat forebrain homogenate (100 μg membrane protein per well) or human platelet homogenate (15 μg membrane protein per well) in VMAT2 binding buffer (Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4). Following incubation at 25° C. for 90 minutes, bound radioligand was collected by rapid filtration onto GF/B glass fiber filters using a Unifilter-96 Harvester (PerkinElmer). Filter plates were pre-treated with 0.1% polyethylenimine and allowed to dry overnight, and following harvesting the filter plates were washed with 800 μl VMAT2 binding buffer. Bound radioligand was quantified by scintillation counting using a Topcount NXT (PerkinElmer). |
