orphanMAX GPCR Assay Panel

LeadHunter Discovery Services provides the largest collection of functional cell-based assays for liganded and non-liganded Orphan GPCR (oGPCR) receptors. The panel includes a collection of 73 human oGPCRs that utilize the proven PathHunter® Arrestin recruitment technology. With a single, G-protein independent readout the panel provides a robust, high quality screening platform that is capable of uncovering novel ligand and receptor pairings and is the ideal solution for any ligand fishing or deorphanization campaign.

Performance

  • Arrestin orphan panel successfully used to de-orphanize many GPCRs
  • 12 targets uniquely identified or verified using the arrestin platform
  • Customer validated - 11 novel target interactions identified using orphan GPCR panel
  • 27% of targets have produced hits

Robust Platform for Novel Ligand Discovery


Expression and glycosylation status of the PathHunter Arrestin GPR32  cell lines was confirmed by Eastern blot (Left Panel, lane 3). Basal ‘constitutive’ receptor activity following receptor expression compared with host cell line (Middle Panel). Analysis of receptor expression by flow cytometry was confirmed using Pro-Link MAb (Right panel).
Dose response curve for Zaprinast, a surrogate ligand for GPR35 shows a robust response to agonist (Left panel). Overlap of ranked average CV per assay vs mean RLU for 83 primary Orphan GPCR screens.  <12.5% CV was obtained  for 78 of 83 completed (Right panel).

Data Analysis & Interpretation 

Definitions

Percent Activity/Inhibition

The results for single concentration (primary screen) for tested compound(s) are reported in your study report and spreadsheets as '% Activity' or '% Inhibition' and are calculated in the following manner:
 

% Activity
(Agonist Mode) =
100% x
[
Mean RLU (test sample)- Mean RLU(vehicle control)

Mean MAX RLU (control ligand)- Mean RLU (vehicle control)
]
 

test sample = client supplied compound
vehicle control = DMSO (0% activity)
control ligand = control compound (100% activity)

 

% Inhibition
(Antagonist mode) =
100% x
[ 1- 
Mean RLU (test sample)- Mean RLU(vehicle control)

Mean MAX RLU (control ligand)- Mean RLU (vehicle control)
]
 

test sample = client supplied compound
vehicle control = DMSO (0% activity)
EC80 control = control compound (80% activity) 

 

Dose Response Curve (EC50/IC50)

The results for 10-point dose response curve compound/target interactions are reported in the study report and spreadsheets as EC50/IC50, which are values derived using the Hill equation:
