The thawed cell suspension (2 ml; 10 7 cells/ml) was transferred to a 50 ml Falcon tube and for each vial, 10 ml prewarmed culture medium was added. The falcon tube was as resuspended in stimulation buffer (HBSS Ix, IBMX ImM, Hepes 5mM, MgCl 2 1OmM, BSA 0.1%, pH 7.4).
  • stimulation buffer HBSS Ix, IBMX ImM, Hepes 5mM, MgCl 2 1OmM, BSA 0.1%, pH 7.4

  • Selectivity of the compounds for EP4 can also be demonstrated by determining whether the compounds have activity on the EPl receptor, for instance by [Ca 2+ J 1 measurements in response to activation or inhibition of the monkey EPl receptor as follows : The antagonistic and agonistic effect of the test compounds on intracellular Ca 2+ concentrations ([Ca 2+ J 1 ) was measured in a fluorescent based assay, using the calcium assay kit (Molecular Devices, Crawley, England).
  • HEK293 cells stably transfected with monkey EPl receptor were cultured in T 175 Falcon flasks in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (Invitrogen) supplemented with 100 IU/ml penicillin G, 100 ⁇ g/ml streptomycin sulphate, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 300 ⁇ g/ml L-glutamine and 10% heat inactivated foetal calf serum (Biochrom AG) in a humidified atmosphere of 5%CO 2 at 37°C. Before the experiments, the cells were grown on 384-well (black wall/transparent bottom) plates from Greiner for 1 day until they reached confluency.
  • DMEM Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium
  • the cells were loaded with loading buffer supplied by the kit supplemented with 10 mM probenecid and 0.1% fatty acid free bovine serum albumine, adjusted to pH 7.4 with 1 M Hepes-acid, for 90 minutes at 37°C in a CO 2 incubator.
