Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Human NR2B calcium influx assay
Description:  The medium was removed and the cells were loaded with 200 μl loading buffer (Molecular Devices) in Mg2+-free HBPS containing 100 μM 7-CKA at 37° C. for one (1) hour. The test compounds were then solubilized in 100% DMSO and diluted to yield eight (8) different concentrations in 100% DMSO. A 96 well drug plate was prepared by diluting with water and glycine/glutamate to a 5-fold of final test concentration. Fluorescence intensity of the cells in the plate was measured in a FlexStation using an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of 525 nm. Twenty (20) seconds after starting the recordings the compounds together with the agonists glycine (100 μM) and glutamate (100 μM) were added into the wells and the fluorescence measured for ninety (90) seconds in summary.
