Figure Lengend Snippet: Transfection efficiency of hP2Y 12 R-HEK 293 cells and optimization of assay conditions for [ 3 H]AZ12464237 binding to membrane preparations of the same cells. (A) Relative qPCR analysis of the mRNA expression of hP2Y 12 R in WT (black bar) and transfected (blue-green bar) HEK 293 cells. (B) The eGFP expression of WT (black line) and transfected (blue-green line) HEK 293 cells as detected by flow cytometry. (C) Screening of binding buffers with different additives (as indicated in graph). Buffer was based on Na/K-phosphate (50 mM Na 2 HPO 4 /KH 2 PO 4 , 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl 2 , pH 7.4). BSA = Bovine serum albumin. (D) Screening of binding buffers with different additives (as indicated in graph). Buffer was based on Tris-HCl (50 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl 2 , pH 7.4). (E) Screening of binding buffers with different additives (as indicated in graph). Buffer based on HEPES (50 mM HEPES, 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl 2 , pH 7.4) (F) Control experiments to determine the specificity of binding to hP2Y 12 R. Membranes prepared from HEK 293 cells transfected with the hP2X 7 R were used as a negative control. Blue-green bars represents total binding (TB), whereas pink and dark purple bars represent assessment of NSB by co-incubation with elinogrel (20 μM) and ticagrelor (10 μM), respectively. The binding buffer was Na/K-phosphate-based with 0.1% Tween-20. (G) Binding of [ 3 H]AZ12464237 with increasing amount of hP2Y 12 -HEK membranes (0.5–30 μg per 500 uL total volume in binding tube). Blue-green line represents TB and the pink line represents NSB determined with elinogrel (20 μM). The binding buffer was Na/K-phosphate-based with 0.1% Tween-20. (H) The influence of DMSO on binding of radioligand. Incubation of [ 3 H]AZ12464237 and hP2Y 12 R-HEK for 1 h at room temperature in the presence of different concentrations of DMSO (0.002%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5% and 10%) of the total volume in the binding tube. The binding buffer was Na/K-phosphate-based with 0.1% Tween-20. NSB was assessed by co-incubation with elinogrel (20 μM). Data is presented as mean ± SEM form three different experiments and each data point has been carried out in triplicate. Significant difference was assessed by Student’s t -test (**** p -value <0.0001).
