High-throughput calcium flux assays: luminescent versus fluorescent readout

20 September 2016 | By , , ,

In vitro high-throughput cellular target-based assays are commonly used for hit identification targeting G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Agonist and antagonist identification of GPCRs often relies on the screening of large collections of chemicals using miniaturised in vitro cell-based functional assays. In the panel of assays, calcium mobilisation measured by aequorin…
