| Description: | For the assay 50 nl of a 100 fold concentrated solution of the test compound in DMSO was pipetted into either a black low volume 384 well microtiter plate or a black 1536 well microtiter plate (both Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany), 2 μL of a solution of EGFR in aqueous assay buffer [50 mM Hepes pH 7.0, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5 mM EGTA, 0.3 mM activated sodium ortho-vanadate, 0.005% (w/v) bovine serum albumin, 0.005% (v/v) Tween-20] were added and the mixture was incubated for 15 min at 22° C. to allow pre-binding of the test compounds to the enzyme before the start of the kinase reaction. Then the kinase reaction was started by the addition of 3 μL of a solution of adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP, 3.33 mM=>final conc. in the 5 μL assay volume is 2 mM) and substrate (1.67 μM=>final conc. in the 5 μL assay volume is 1 μM) in assay buffer and the resulting mixture was incubated for a reaction time of 30 min at 22° C. The concentration of EGFR was adjusted depending of the activity of the enzyme lot and was chosen appropriate to have the assay in the linear range, typical concentration was 7.6 pg/μL. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 3 μL of a solution of HTRF detection reagents (83.3 nM streptavidine-XL665 [Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France] and 1.67 nM PT66-Tb-Cryptate, a terbium-cryptate labelled anti-phospho-tyrosine antibody from Cisbio Bioassays [instead of the PT66-Tb-cryptate PT66-Eu-Chelate from Perkin Elmer can also be used]) in an aqueous EDTA-solution (133.3 mM EDTA, 0.2% (w/v) bovine serum albumin in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5).The resulting mixture was incubated 1 h at 22° C. to allow the binding of the biotinylated phosphorylated peptide to the streptavidine-XL665 and the PT66-Tb-Cryptate. Subsequently the amount of phosphorylated substrate was evaluated by measurement of the resonance energy transfer from the PT66-Tb-Cryptate to the streptavidine-XL665. |
