    Comparison of FLIPR Calcium 6 Assay Kits to other calcium indicators was measured using agonism of the muscarinic receptor on CHO M1WT3 cells from ATCC. Plates were read on either the FLIPR Tetra System or the FlexStation 3 Microplate Reader.

    No wash protocol reduces well-to-well variability, improving assay quality (Z-factor) and reliability (CV %) of high-throughput screens

    Universal mix-and-read protocol accelerates assay workflow and increases throughput

    Superior signal-to-noise ratio facilitates confirmation of endogenous or transiently transfected receptor activity during assay development

    Pre-optimized and validated protocols ensure you can navigate both routine and unconventional cell lines and targets

    Assay ready 1321N1 frozen cells, expressing endogenous Histamine 1 receptor were assayed on the FlexStation 3 Microplate Reader. Comparison of histamine receptor response to increasing concentrations of histamine demonstrates that the FLIPR Calcium 6 Assay Kit gives the highest signal window.

    DetectionandquantitationofcAMP/cGMPThe CatchPoint cAMP and cGMP Fluorescent Assay Kits measure cAMP and cGMP levels, and adenylate cyclase activity via a competitive immunoassay format. The kits high-affinity reagents are optimized for sensitivity and precision in applications where cAMP and cGMP levels are low. A single wash step removes unbound material prior to the development step, so the assays are very resistant to interference from colored or fluorescent test compounds.

    GPCRtargetsinahighcontentscreeningenvironment The Transfluor Assay is a cell-based fluorescence assay used to screen G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), ligands, and other potential drugs that regulate GPCRs. By attaching a fluorescent label to beta-arrestin, the location of the receptor-arrestin complex can be monitored. Since desensitization only occurs with an activated receptor, monitoring beta-arrestin translocation and subsequent receptor recycling provides a method to detect the activation of any GPCR. This patented technology provides a powerful functional assay for detecting a compounds activity against known and/or orphan GPCR targets. The Transfluor Assay is optimized for HCS, secondary screening, and lead optimization.

    The assay is validated on the ImageXpress Micro and ImageXpress Ultra High-Content Analysis Systems.

    PhotinaluminescentcalciummobilizationassaysCalcium-activated photoproteins are important tools for detecting receptor-mediated signaling events involving calcium mobilization in mammalian cells. One major advantage of photoproteins is the immediate emission of flash luminescence upon calcium binding to the coelenterazine-photoprotein complex. The background signal of Photina measurements is close to zero, resulting in high signal-to-background ratios. Furthermore, the luminescent light emitted by the oxidation of coelenterazine does not depend on optical excitation, eliminating issues with auto-fluorescence.

    This study provides a basic protocol for performing an adherent Photina assay using the FlexStation 3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader and FLIPR Tetra High Throughput Cellular Screening System with ICCD camera. Both instruments were used to determine the concentration response of IMETIT in CHO mito-Photina/H3 cells at various cell concentrations.

Cryopreserved cells as reagents in Aequorin based calcium flux assays decouples the tissue culture process from high throughput screening while improving overall assay performance. The need for culturing cells in plates is eliminated.

    This study demonstrates performance of cryopreserved Bacmam transduced Aequorin cells in 384- well and 1536-well formats. Combined with the FLIPR Tetra High Throughput Cellular Screening System equipped with Aequorin options, cryopreserved cells are a powerful tool in the identification of lead compounds in drug discovery.

    Live cell Gi-andGs-coupledGPCRsecondmessengersignalingDetection of Gi- and Gs-coupled GPCR second messenger signal activity has been traditionally accomplished using assays such as radioactive binding or endpoint cAMP assays that require cell lysis. Such assays measure activity at a single time point in the cellular response and do not provide kinetic information. Another option utilizes forced-coupling of Gi- and Gs-GPCRs to G16 followed by fluorescence detection of calcium flux upon agonist receptor activation. Again, this assay is sub-optimal as it does not signal through the biorelevant cAMP pathway.

    In this study we demonstrate endogenous receptor activity in CHO-K1 and HEK-293 cell lines stably expressing the GloSensor plasmid using the FLIPR Tetra High Throughput Cellular Screening System.

    DownloadApplicationProtocol

    GloSensor cAMP Assay is demonstrated on the FLIPR Tetra System as a live cell HTS screening application for Gi- and Gs- coupled GPCRs

    Use of the FLIPR Tetra System with GloSensor cAMP Assay enables kinetic measurement of Gi- and Gs-coupled receptor signaling not possible using endpoint assays on standard plate readers

    Assay development flexibility using GloSensor cAMP cell lines and plasmids transfected in endogenous as well as stably transfected receptor cell lines

    Gi-coupled GPCR receptor agonism results in a reduction in signal correlated with reduction in cAMP inside the cell. Baseline increase in cAMP activity was induced by the addition of forskolin. Using stable P2Y receptor in CHO-K1 cells, we compared results upon addition of forskolin either before or after the agonist. 10 M forskolin addition followed 15 minutes later by addition of agonist Peptide YY(3-36) on the FLIPR Tetra System.

    HEK-293 cells over expressing Gi-coupled dopamine D4 receptor from Multispan, Inc. were transiently transfectd with GloSensor cAMP-22F plasmid. Ligand was added on-line to the wells, followed by 5 minute incubation. Continuing the assay, FLIPR Tetra System added 10 M forskolin to stimulate cAMP production in the cell.
