Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biological Assay 2
Description:  BCL-2 Assay: In the assay 11 different concentrations of each compound (0.1 nM, 0.33 nM, 1.1 nM, 3.8 nM, 13 nM, 44 nM, 0.15 μM, 0.51 μM, 1.7 μM, 5.9 μM and 20 μM) were typically measured as duplicates in the same microtiter plate. For that, 100-fold concentrated DMSO solutions were prepared by serial dilutions (1:3.4) of a 2 mM stock solution in a clear, 384-well microtiter plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany). From there, 50 nl were transferred in a dark test plate (Greiner Bio-One, Frickenhausen, Germany). The assay was initiated by addition of 2 μl of a 2,5-fold concentrated His-BCL-2 solution (usually for a 1 nM end concentration in 5 μl reaction volume) in aqueous assay buffer [50 mM Tris/HCl pH 7, 100 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), 50 mM potassium fluoride (KF), 0.005% Tween-20, 2 mM DTT, 0.1% bovine gamma globulin (BGG)] to the compounds in the assay plate. This was followed by a 10-minute incubation step at 22° C. for pre-equilibration of the putative complex between His-BCL-2 and the compounds. After that, 3 μl of a 1.67-fold concentrated solution (in assay buffer) consisting of Bad BH3-derived peptide (1 nM end concentration) and TR-FRET detection reagents [1.67 nM anti-His-Eu cryptate and 1.67 nM streptavidin-XL665 (both from Cisbio Bioassays, Codolet, France)], were added.
