Workflow
1. GPCR Target Selection
2. Assay Design & Customization
Based on the selected GPCR, we design and optimize a customized flow cytometry assay. This may involve choosing the appropriate fluorochrome-conjugated ligands and ensuring the assay's sensitivity for the target receptor.
3. Sample Preparation
Cells expressing the target GPCR are prepared and labeled with fluorescent ligands or antibodies. If required, a blocking step may be performed to eliminate non-specific binding.
4. Flow Cytometry Analysis
Samples are analyzed using our high-throughput flow cytometry system, which rapidly measures fluorescence intensity and provides detailed information on ligand binding and receptor activation.
5. Data Interpretation & Reporting
After analysis, we provide a comprehensive report that includes detailed findings such as binding affinities, receptor internalization kinetics, and the effectiveness of different ligands.
Required Starting Materials
- GPCR Expression System: Provide details of the cell line or system expressing the target GPCR, including whether it is a stable or transient expression system.
- Fluorescent Ligands or Antibodies: Supply information about the fluorescent ligands or antibodies to be used in the assay. If these are not available, we can assist in selecting appropriate options.
- Compound Library (if applicable): If screening a compound library, provide details of the compounds, including concentrations and solubility information to ensure compatibility with the assay.
