| Description: | Adherent cells (CHO-K1 C5AR1 beta-arrestin cell line, DiscoverX, CA USA) are washed with PBS, detached by incubation with Dissociation Buffer (Gibco Cat #13151-014, 2 ml per 165 cm2 dish) for 3 minutes, then washed with 10 ml PBS (without Mg++ and Ca++) and counted. 7′500 cells/384-well are seeded out in 384-well plates (Cell culture plate MTP384 white Polystyrene, Corning, Cat #3570) in 20 μI/well Cell plating medium (F12 HAMs/10% FCS/1% P/S) and incubated at 37° C./5% CO2/24 h. 5 μl Antagonist at 6-fold end concentration or DMSO control is added to assay medium and subsequently 5 μl 1-10 nM C5a agonist at 6 fold end concentration. Cells are centrifuged for 1 min at 1000 rpm and incubated for 1.5 hour in at 37° C. Plates are equilibrated at room temperature for several minutes before adding 12 μI/well Detection Reagent (PathHunter Detection Kit, DiscoverX, Cat #93-0001). Plates are centrifuged for 1 min at 1000 rpm and incubated for 45 minutes at RT before being measured on a Fluostar Optima, BMG Labtech. IC50 values are calculated from a serial dilution range of antagonist using inhouse software and given in nmol/l. |
