A Simplified Protocol to Streamline Inhibitor Profiling with the Transcreener® ADP2 FP Assay
13 Sept 2015Transcreener® HTS is a universal, high throughput biochemical assay platform based on the detection of nucleotides, which are formed by thousands of cellular enzymes - many of which catalyze the covalent regulatory reactions that are central to cell signaling and are of great value as targets in drug discovery. The Transcreener® ADP2 FP Assay is a far-red, competitive fluorescence polarization (FP) assay based on the detection of ADP and is a simple, one-step homogenous detection assay. This Application Note describes how to streamline the process of inhibitor profiling with the Transcreener® ADP2 FP Assay eliminating the need to experimentally optimize the ADP2 antibody concentration and the need for a standard curve.

Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling.
