Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  SERT Uptake Inhibition Assay
Description:  For the SERT uptake inhibition assay, 5 nM [3H]5-HT was used. To optimize uptake for a single transporter, unlabeled blockers were included to prevent the uptake of [3H]5-HT by competing transporters. Uptake inhibition was initiated by incubating synaptosomes with various doses of test compound and [3H]5-HT in Krebs-phosphate buffer. Uptake assay was terminated by rapid vacuum filtration and retained radioactivity was quantified with liquid scintillation counting, a principal constituent of psychoactive bath salts products.
