| | Radioligand Binding Assay |
| Description: | The protocol used adenosine A2a (human) membrane (PerkinElmer RBHA2AM400UA) at a concentration of 5 μg/well/100 μl and the radioligand [3H] CGS-21680 (Cat No. PerkinElmer-NET1021250UC) at a final concentration of 6 nM. Testing compounds were diluted with DMSO to make 8-point 4-fold serial dilution, starting at 0.2 mM. CGS-15943 was the reference compound. 1 μl of compounds/high control/low control was transferred to the assay plate according to a plate map, followed by 100 μl of membrane stocks and 100 μl of radioligand, in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4). The plate was sealed and incubated at RT for 2 hours. Unifilter-96 GF/C filter plates (Perkin Elmer Cat #6005174) were soaked with 50 μl of 0.3% PEI per well for at least 0.5 hour at room temperature. When the binding assays were completed, the reaction mixtures were filtered through GF/C plates using Perkin Elmer Filtermate Harvester, and each plate washed 4 times with cold wash buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 154 mM NaCl, pH 7.4). The filter plates were dried for 1 hour at 50 degrees. After drying, the bottom of the filter plate wells was sealed, 50 μl of Perkin Elmer Microscint 20 cocktail was added, and the top of the filter plate was sealed. 3H trapped on the filter was counted using Perkin Elmer MicroBeta2 Reader. The data were analyzed with GraphPad Prism 5 to obtain binding IC50 values. |
