Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  ELISA Assay
Description:  HEK293 cells are seeded in 96-well poly-lysine coated plates at 20,000 cells per well in DMEM (10% FBS, 1% NEAA, 0.1% glutamine). Following overnight incubation, the cells are washed with 100 uL of Opti-MEM (Gibco, Carlsbad, Calif.) to remove serum. Compound in DMSO is serially diluted (beginning with 100 μM) in Opti-MEM and added to the cells. The conditioned media is analyzed for VEGF with a Quantikine human VEGF immunoassay kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn.). Optical density measurements at 450 nm are recorded using the Spectra Max 250 (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Data defined as % of DFO stimulation is used to calculate EC50 values with GraphPad Prism 4 software (San Diego, Calif.).
