| | CB1 and CB2 Receptor Binding Assay |
| Description: | CB1R binding protocol involves the use of the same solution buffer used for both incubation and washing reaction (Tris-HCl, 50 mM; EDTA, 2.5 mM; MgCl2, 2.5 mM; BSA, 0.5 mg/mL at pH 7.4), 0.4 nM for [3H]CP-55,940, test compounds (concentrations from 0.001 to 10 μM), and finally 8 μg/sample membrane in a total volume of 200 μL. CB2R binding assays were carried out with two different buffers: incubation buffer (Tris-HCl, 50 mM; MgCl2, 5 mM; CaCl2 1 mM; BSA, 0.2% at pH 7.4) and washing buffer (Tris-HCl, 50 mM; NaCl 500 mM; BSA, 0.1% at pH 7.4). The assay mixture contained incubation buffer, 0.4 nM [3H]CP-55,940, test substances (concentrations from 0.001 to 10 μM), and 4 μg/sample membrane in a total assay volume of 200 μL. Assays were performed in duplicate and incubated for 120 mM at 37° C. After the incubation, the assay mixture is filtered through 96 GF/C filter plates (Perkin Elmer #6005174) using Perkin Elmer Filtermate Harvester, and then washed four times with ice-cold washing buffer. |
