| | Nociceptin (hNOP) Receptor Binding Assay |
| Description: | The human nociceptin (hNOP) receptor binding assay was performed as an filtration-based radio agonist binding assay. Cell membrane homogenates of transfected Chem-1 cells (5 μg) were incubated for 60 min at 22° C. with 0.1 nM [3H]nociceptin in the absence or presence of the test compound in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 5 mM MgCl2 and 0.1% BSA in a final volume of 200 μl in a 96 well plate. Nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 1 μM nociceptin.Test compound was added at a 100× concentrated solution in solvent and final assay DMSO concentration was 1% maximum which also served as respective vehicle control. Following incubation, the samples were filtered rapidly under vacuum through glass fiber filters (GF/B, Packard, presoaked with 0.3% PEI) and rinsed several times with ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl using a 96-sample cell harvester (Unifilter, Packard). The filters were dried and counted for radioactivity in a scintillation counter (Topcount, Packard) using a scintillation cocktail (Microscint 0, Packard). |
