Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Inhibition Assay
Description:  Seven point five μL per well of human TrkA (PV3144, Lifetechnologies, final concentration: 1 nmol/L) suspended in the assay buffer (100 mmol/L 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 10 mmol/L magnecium chloride, 0.003 vol % Brij-35, 0.004 vol % Tween20 and 1 mmol/L dithiothreitol (DTT)) was applied in a 384 well plate and the plate was pre-incubated for 15 min at room temperature with 0.4 μL of each compound (final concentration: 200 μmol/L-1 pmol/L) dissolved in DMSO. Then, fluorescent substrate (FL-peptide 27, 760424, PerkinElmer, final concentration: 1.5 μmol/L) and ATP (final concentration 500 μmol/L) dissolved in the assay buffer was added in each well. After the incubation of 120 min at 37° C., fifteen μL of termination buffer (100 mmol/L HEPES, 40 mmol/L ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 10 mmol/L magnecium chloride, 0.003 vol % Brij-35, 0.004 vol % Tween20, 1 mmol/L DTT and 0.16 vol % Coating Reagent 3) was added in each well to stop the enzyme reaction. Fluorescent intensities (FI) of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated fluorescent substrates were measured by LabChip EZReader II (Caliper LifeSciences, Inc.), and conversion ratio (CR) was calculated by the following formula-1. The CR in the well applied with DMSO alone was used as a negative control and the CR in the well without applying TrkA was used as a positive control.
