Same Day Assay Confirmation Using Three Addition Protocol

 

Protocol Step


Result Interpretation

 1.

Addition #1 (compound) induces response

1.

Compound may be agonist, autofluore, Ca++ ionophore

 2.

Addition #1 (compound) no response

 2.

Compound has no activity, (good confirmation test)

 3.

Addition #2 (agonist) induces response

 3.

Compound antagonism not confirmed

 4.

Addition #2 (agonist) no response

 4.

Compound antagonism confirmed

 5.

Addition #3 positive control (Ca++ mobilization) induces response

 5.

Suggests assay does work & compound antagonism is specific to receptor

 6.

Addition #3 positive control (Ca++ mobilization) no response

 6.

Suggests assay failure-compound may be quencher, etc.
