M5 Human Acetylcholine (Muscarinic) GPCR Binding Antagonist Radioligand LeadHunter Assay - TW

Procedure Summary:

Human recombinant muscarinic M5 receptors expressed in CHO-K1 cells are used in modified Tris-HCl buffer pH 7.4. A 16 μg‡ aliquot is incubated with 0.8 nM [³H]N-Methylscopolamine for 120 minutes at 25℃. Non-specific binding is estimated in the presence of 1 µM atropine. Membranes are filtered and washed, the filters are then counted to determine [³H]N-Methylscopolamine specifically bound. Compounds are screened at 10 μM.
Note: ‡Membrane protein may change from lot to lot, the concentration used will be adjusted if necessary.
