Endothelial Lipase Assay: To assay for cell surface lipase activity, cells expressing human endothelial lipase (EL) or LPL were plated in CellBIND® 384-well plates (Corning, Lowell, Mass.) in 25 μL serum free medium at a density of 2000 cells/well. After 18-24 hours incubation at 37° C., the medium was removed and replaced with 15 μL assay buffer [Hank's Buffered Saline Solution with 25 mM HEPES pH 7.2] and 15 μL PLA1 substrate for a final concentration of 10 μM using a Multidrop reagent dispenser. Fluorescence signal was monitored for 30 min at 37° C. on a Safire II plate reader in kinetic mode (60 cycles, kinetic interval: 30 seconds) with an excitation wavelength of 490 nm and an emission wavelength of 515 nm.
