Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  TNF-alpha Secretion Assay
Description:  Monocytic THP-1 cells were maintained according to providers' instructions in RPMI media as described above. Undifferentiated cells were plated at 50,000 cells per well in a 384-well flat-bottom cell culture plates (Greiner, #781986), and allowed to rest overnight. Experimental compounds were prepared and added as described above. TNF-α secretion was triggered by the addition of either 1 μg/mL LPS (Sigma, #L4391) or 100 ng/mL Pam3CSK4 (Invivogen, #tlrl-pms) depending on the experiment, and cells were incubated for 3 hours. 10 μL supernatant was removed, and TNF-α levels were monitored using an HTRF assay (CisBio, #62TNFPEC) according to manufacturers' instructions.
