| Description: | Compounds of the present invention inhibit CETP-dependent cholesterol ester transfer from HDL to LDL as described here. Dilutions of compounds in DMSO (1 μl) are added to BD plates (#353232). To this is added 20 μl of a mixture containing 3H-CE/HDL (0.15 μl), biotinylated LDL (5 μg protein/ml final concentration) and unlabeled HDL (16 μg/ml final concentration) in a buffer containing 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl and 0.05% sodium azide. Reactions are initiated by the addition of 10 μl of buffer containing purified human recombinant CETP, and incubated at 37 C. At the end of the reaction, 60 μl of LEADseeker beads (#RPNQ0261, 2 mg/ml in buffer containing 1 mg/ml BSA and 0.05 mg protein/ml HDL) are added, the plates are covered and subsequently read. Background activity is determined in a set of wells that receive buffer but no CETP. |
