| Description: | The cell-based assay measures inhibition or reduction of Aβ40 in conditioned medium of test compound treated cells expressing amyloid precursor protein. Cells stably expressing Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) were plated at a density of 45K cells/well in 384 well plates (Corning/BioCoat 354663). The test compounds were then added to cells in 22-point dose response concentrations with the starting concentration being 62.5 μM. The compounds were diluted from stock solutions in DMSO and the final DMSO concentration of the test compounds on cells was 0.625%. The cells were cultivated overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO2 in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. After 24 h of incubation with the test compounds, the conditioned media was collected and the Aβ40 levels were determined using HTRF (Homogeneous Time Resolved Fluorescence). The IC50 of the compound was calculated from the percent of control or percent inhibition of Aβ 40 as a function of the concentration of the test compound.The HTRF to detect Aβ40 was performed in 384 well plates (Costar 3658). The antibody pair that were used to detect Aβ 40 from cell supernatants were ConfAb40 antibody (Amgen in-house) and biotinylated 6E10 (BIOLEGEND). As an alternative to ConfAb40, a commercially available antibody, Anti-beta Amyloid 1-40 antibody [BDI350] from Abcam, Cambridge, Mass. 02139-1517 (Product code: ab20068), may be used in this assay. The concentrations were 0.35 μg/mL of ConfAb40 antibody and 1.33 μg/mL of 6E10-biotinylated antibody, as well as 4.5 μg/mL of Streptavidin Allophycocyanin Conjugate (ThermoFisher Scientific) in HTRF Buffer (1M Hepes pH 7.5, 1M NaCl, 1% BSA, 0.5% Tween 20).The conditioned media was incubated with above antibodies and Streptavidin Allophycocyanin Conjugate for 30-60 minutes at 23° C. The final readout was performed on Envision from PerkinElmer. |
