CHEMBL3887737

Binding Assay: Membranes were prepared from CHO cells expressing human S1P1. Cells pellets (1^108cells/pellet) were suspended in buffer containing 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA and Protease Inhibitor cocktail (Roche), and disrupted on ice using the Polytron homogenizer. The homogenate was centrifuged at 20,000 rpm (48,000 g) and the supernatant was discarded. The membrane pellets were resuspended in buffer containing 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 2 mM EDTA and stored in aliquots at -80° C. after protein concentration determination.Membranes (2 ug/well) and 0.03 nM final concentration of 33P-S1P ligand (1 mCi/ml, American Radiolabeled Chemicals) diluted in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.5% fatty acid free BSA, 1 mM NaF) were added to the compound plates (384 Falcon v-bottom plate (0.5 ul/well in a 11 point, 3-fold dilution). Binding was performed for 45 minutes at room temperature, terminated by collecting the membranes.
