As such, it has the advantage of monitoring the activation of GPCRs at the level of one of the earliest receptor-mediated events. It therefore provides insight into the upstream portion of GPCR signaling, useful when studying functional responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nHTRF assays offer many advantages over other technologies:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHomogeneous add-and-read format\u003cbr\u003e\nNo wash steps\u003cbr\u003e\nLow background\u003cbr\u003e\nStraightforward miniaturization from 96- or 384-well microplates to high density assay formats such as 384-well low volume and 1536-well plates\u003cbr\u003e\n Stable signal, providing flexibility in readout time or size of assays\u003cbr\u003e\nHow it works\u003cbr\u003e\nGTP Gi cellular binding assay principle\u003cbr\u003e\nThe GTP\/Gi cellular binding assay is intended for the simple, rapid, and direct detection of Gαi protein activation in permeabilized cells. It is an upstream readout of Gi protein coupled receptor activation. GPCR activation leads to GDP\/GTP nucleotide exchange into the Gα subunit. The principle of this assay is based on HTRF™ technology. It uses a non-hydrolysable GTP analog coupled to the fluorescent Europium cryptate donor.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn practice, agonist-induced GPCR stimulation leads to Gα protein conformation change, and the replacement of Gα-bound GDP by the fluorescent GTP analog in the corresponding binding pocket. Detection is made possible by the addition of d2-labeled anti-Gαi monoclonal antibody (red acceptor). When Europium cryptate and d2 are brought into close proximity, the time-resolved energy transfer between them triggers a TR-FRET signal at d2. This specific signal is proportional to the Gαi activation state. The assay enables the direct pharmacological characterization of compounds acting on Gαi-coupled receptors in permeabilized cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n        \n\n\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n  \n\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n      \n\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n        \n\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n    \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\nGTP Gi cellular binding assay protocol\u003cbr\u003e\nThe GTP\/Gi cellular binding assay is performed in a miniaturized format using 40 µl final volume and features a streamlined 4-step reagent addition protocol where permeabilization, stimulation, and detection steps are performed successively after plating cells for 24h.
