| | Thallium Flux Assay |
| Description: | 1. Seed HEK-hKir1.1 cells (50 μl at 20,000 cells/well) in 384-well PDL coated Microplates2. Allow cells to adhere overnight in humidified 37° C./10% CO2 incubator3. Completely remove cell growth media from microplate and replace with 25 μl loading buffer4. Incubate Microplate at room temperature, protected form light, for 90 min5. Remove loading buffer and replace with 25 μl 1× Assay Buffer±test compound.6. Incubate microplate at room temperature, protected from light, for 30 min7. At FLIPR-Tetra 384: Add stimulant (Thallium/Potassium) solution to microplate and monitor fluorescence. Excitation=400 nm, Emission=460 & 580 nm. Collect data for 10 min.Data Calculation The fluorescence intensity of wells containing 3 μM of a standard control ROMK inhibitor of the present invention is used to define the ROMK-sensitive component of thallium flux. Fluorescence in the presence of test compounds is normalized to control values to provide % fluorescence change. IC50 values represent the concentration of compound that inhibits 50% of the ROMK thallium flux signal. |
