FLIPR Assay: 1321N1 cells expressing the recombinant human, rat or mouse P2X7 channel was cultured in HyQ DME/(HyClone/Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) high glucose supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and appropriate selection marker. Cells were seeded at a density of 25000 cells/well (96-well clear bottom black walled plates) in 100 ul volume/well. On the day of the experiment, cell plates were washed with assay buffer, containing (in mM): 130 NaCl, 2 KCl, 1 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, 5 glucose; pH 7.40 and 300 mOs. After the wash, cells were loaded with the Calcium-4 dye (Molecular Device) and incubated in the dark for 60 minutes. Test compounds were prepared at 250x the test concentration in neat DMSO. Intermediate 96-well compound plates were prepared by transferring 1.2 uL of the compound into 300 uL of assay buffer. A further 3x dilution occurred when transferring 50 uL/well of the compound plate to 100 uL/well in the cell plate.
