| Transactivation Assay |
Description: | The products are dissolved at 10 mM in DMSO. They are tested as a response dose at 0.1% of DMSO final. The range comprising 10 points and a zero starts at 10 μM with four-fold dilutions. To test agonists, the products are tested alone. To determine the antagonist behaviour, the products of interest are tested in the presence of 1 nM NDP-MSH (reference agonist). The cells are inoculated at a rate of 5000 cells per well (384-well plate) in serum-free DMEM medium and incubated overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO2. The products and the reference ligand (NDP-MSH) are added the following day and the plates are reincubated for 6 hours at 37° C. and 5% CO2. After adding the lysis buffer containing luciferin, the plates are read in a Top-Count machine. |
