Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Binding Assay
Description:  Delta-Opioid Receptor Binding Assay Procedures: delta-opioid Receptor Binding Assay Procedures were conducted as follows. Radioligand dose-displacement assays used 0.3 nM [3H]-Naltrindole (Perkin Elmer, Shelton, Conn.; 33.0 Ci/mmole) with 5 ug membrane protein (Perkin Elmer, Shelton, Conn.) in a final volume of 500 ul binding buffer (5 mM MgCl2, 5% DMSO, 50 mM Trizma base, pH 7.4). Non-specific binding was determined in the presence of 25 uM unlabeled naloxone. All reactions were performed in 96-deep well polypropylene plates for 1 hr at a temperature of about 25 C. Binding reactions were terminated by rapid filtration onto 96-well Unifilter GF/C filter plates (Perkin Elmer, Shelton, Conn.) presoaked in 0.5% polyethylenimine (Sigma). Harvesting was performed using a 96-well tissue harvester (Perkin Elmer, Shelton, Conn.) followed by five filtration washes with 500 ul ice-cold binding buffer. Filter plates were subsequently dried at 50 C. for 1-2 hours.
