| Description: | hERG: The purpose of the hERG binding assay is to evaluate the effects of test compounds on the voltage-dependent potassium channel encoded by the human ether go go-related gene (hERG) using a constitutively expressing CHO cell line on the Nanion Syncropatch 384PE automated patch clamp system.The assay was conducted as follows with all reagents used at room temperature unless otherwise stated.Reagent Preparations Include:1. Internal "IC700" solution used to perfuse the underside of chip (in mM), KF 130, KCl 20, MgCl2 1, EGTA 10 and HEPES 10, (all Sigma-Aldrich; pH 7.2-7.3 using 10 M KOH, 320 mOsm) and supplemented with 25 μM escin.2. External and cell buffer (in mM), NaCl 137, KCl 4, HEPES 10, D-glucose 10, CaCl2 2, MgCl2 1 (pH7.4, NaOH)3. NMDG "reference" buffer used to establish a stable baseline prior to the addition of test compounds, NaCl 80, KCl 4, CaCl2 2, MgCl2 1, NMDG Cl 60, D-Glucose monohydrate 5, HEPES 10 (pH7.4 NaOH 298 mOsm)4. Seal enhancer used to improve seal quality of cells, NaCl 80, KCl 3, CaCl2 10, HEPES 10, MgCl2 1 (pH7.4 NaOH) |
