| | mSortilin Affinity Assay |
| Description: | The Sortilin assay was performed in total volume of 40 ul in 50 mM HEPES pH 7.4 assay buffer containing 100 mM NaCl, 2.0 mM CaCl2, 0.1% BSA and 0.1% Tween-20. Varying concentration of compounds where pre-incubated for 30 min at RT with 50 nM of 6his-Sortilin. 5 nM [3H]-Neurotensin was added as radioligand and nonspecific binding defined as the binding in the presence 20 M of Neurotensin. Ni chelate imaging beads (Perkin elmer) was added and the plate was slowly shacked in the dark for 60 min. The imaging beads were allowed minimum 6 hours settling time before the plate was read on a ViewLux with 360 sec exposure time. Dose-response evaluation of compounds was performed with 10 concentrations of drugs (covering 3 decades). IC50 values were calculated by nonlinear regression using the sigmoid concentration-response (variable slope) using Xlfit 4 (IDBS, UK). The results were given as Ki values (nM) derived from computer fitted IC50 values converted to Ki values using the Cheng-Prusoff equation (Ki=IC50/(1+(L/Kd))). Kd for Neurotensin was determined to 100 nM. |
