Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  MT-4 HIV Wild Type Virus Infection Assay (IIIB Virus)
Description:  Test compounds and controls were serially diluted and spotted in replicate into 384 well black assay plates via acoustic transfer (Echo). MT-4 cells were grown in batch, centrifuged and resuspended into fresh CCM media (RPMI w/10% FBS, 1% PS) at 2×106 cells/ml. MT-4 cells were acutely infected with HIV-1 IIIB strain. The size of each infection mix was scaled by the number of sample plates to be tested. Each infection mix was transferred into 5 mL closed tubes and nutated rapidly on a shaker at 37° C. incubator for 1 hour. The infection mixes were then diluted 25× in fresh cell culture media and then added to assay plates at 40 μL per well using a ViaFlo 384 pipettor. After 5 day incubation at 37° C. in a CO2 incubator, assay plates were processed with Cell-titer glo reagent using a ViaFlo 384 with an addition/mixing program. Plates were read immediately on Envision reader. Assay signals were plotted and dose response curves generated to determine individual compound EC50s.
