  • Example 111 In Vitro Functional Assay of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Activity
  • CHO-K1 cells stably expressing human Ml receptor with Aequorin were grown in F12 media, 10 % FBS with 0.4 mg/mF geneticin and 0.25mg/mF. Cells were grown to confluence and frozen down to be assayed at a later date. On the day of the experiment cells were thawed in a 37°C water bath, resuspended in DMEM / HAM’s F12 with HEPES (Invitrogen) + 0.1 % protease-free BSA (assay buffer), and spun down to remove freezing media. After centrifugation, supernatant was removed and 12 mL of assay buffer was added.
  • Aequorin Perkin Elmer
  • Coelenterazine h (Promega) was added to the cells at a final concentration of 5 uM and incubated for 4 hours at room temperature in the dark.
  • Compound master plate- 96 deep well (Corning) were formatted in a 8-point DRC in assay buffer with 0.2% DMSO at a starting concentration of 60 uM (2x). After 4 hours of incubation, cells were plated at a concentration of 5 x 10 5 cells/well in 96 well white- walled, tissue culture- treated, clear-bottom plates (VWR). Compounds were added to the daughter plate, and cells plus compound were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes in the dark.
