How it Works

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases - Ideal for Small Molecule and Antibody Discovery

Unlike biochemical assays that commonly use a truncated version of the receptor, our cell-based kinase assays utilize wild-type, full length proteins that allow all steps in receptor activation to be monitored.  This whole cell assay platform is ideal for identifying novel receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, allosteric modulators or antibody therapeutics.
 
A serious of commercially available anti-receptor antibodies (neutralizing antibodies) were tested with cells expressing the ErbB1 receptor and dose dependent inhibition was observed (left panel).  Cells expressing TrkA, TrkB, or TrkC were used to identify, screen or profile small molecule inhibitors (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:
