Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  BTK and EGFR in Vitro Assay
Description:  The BTK and EGFR biochemical assays utilize LANTHASCREEN Eu Kinase Binding Assays from Thermo Fisher Scientific, measuring the binding of the kinase with a fluorinated tracer. The assay buffer consists of 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.01% BRU -35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, and 1 mM DTT. The test compounds are diluted and added to the assay plate with a Labcyte ECHO 555 liquid handler. The compounds are tested in 10 point dose response curves (100 μM-0.005 μM) with a maximum DMSO concentration of 1%. The assays are performed in 20 μL in low-volume 384-well white proxiplates. For the BTK assay, the concentration of full-length His-labeled BTK in the assay is 5 nM, the Eu-anti-His antibody is 2 nM, and the kinase tracer 236 is 60 nM. For the EGFR assay, the concentration of truncated (amino acids 668-1210) GST-labeled EGFR is 5 nM, the Eu-anti-GST antibody is 2 nM, and the kinase tracer 199 is 10 nM. The components of the assay (compound, enzyme/antibody, tracer) are assembled and incubated for 30 min prior to being read on a Perkin-Elmer EnVision with excitation at 340 nM, tracer emission at 665 nM, and antibody emission at 615 nM. The signal ratio is converted to percent inhibition using the following equation: % Inhibition=100−[(Test Compound−Median Minimum)/(Median Maximum−Median Minimum)×100].
