Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  TRPV3 cells were induced 20-48 hours, removed from growth plates, and replated at low density (to attain good single-cell physical separation) on glass coverslips for measurement. In some cases, cells were grown in low density overnight on glass coverslips. Patch clamp recordings were made in the whole-cell mode with a holding potential of -40 mV. Every 5 seconds, a voltage ramp was applied from -120 to +100 mV, 400 ms in duration. Currents elicited were quantified at -80 mV and +80 mV. The internal solution consisted of 140 mM cesium aspartate, 10 mM EGTA, 2.27 mM MgCl2, 1.91 mM CaCl2 and 10 mM HEPES, pH to 7.2 with KOH; with 50 nM calculated free Ca2+. External solution was Ringer's solution described above. Upon addition of 2-APB or upon heating of the extraceullar solution as described above, TRPV3 current was induced only in TRPV3-expressing cells and not in parental HEK293 TREx cells.
