Description: Binding Assay: Transfected HEK 293(ebna) cells are maintained in culture, harvested and membranes are prepared by differential centrifugation, following lysis of the cells in the presence of protease inhibitors, for use in receptor binding assays. Prostanoid receptor binding assays (for DPI, DP2 (CRTH2), EPl, EP2, EP3-III, EP4, FP, IP, and TP) are performed in 10 mM MES/KOH (pH 6.0) (EPs, FP and TP) or 10 mM HEPES/KOH (pH 7.4) (DPs and IP), containing 1 mM EDTA, 2.5-30 mM divalent cation and the appropriate radioligand. Synthetic compounds are added in dimethylsulfoxide which is kept constant at 1 % (v/v) in all incubations. The reaction is initiated by addition of membrane protein. Non-specific binding is determined in the presence of 10 uM of the corresponding non-radioactive prostanoid . Incubations are conducted for 60-90 min at room temperature or 30 0C and terminated by rapid filtration. Specific binding is calculated by subtracting non specific binding from total binding.
