Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cAMP accumulation was measured using the LANCE Ultra cAMP kit (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) as previously described [27 ]. In brief, A2AR HEK-293T cells were detached with accutase (Sigma-Aldrich) and incubated for 1 h at 22°C in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 0.1% BSA, adenosine deaminase (ADA, 0.5 U/ml; Roche Diagnostics, GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) and Zardaverin (100 μM; Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA). Cells (1×104 cells/200μl) were firstly incubated with vehicle or MRS7145 (10 μM or increasing concentrations) and then irradiated as above indicated. After 5 min, post-irradiated cells were incubated with CGS21680 (10 nM or increasing concentrations) during 30 min at 22°C. Eu-cAMP tracer and ULight-anti-cAMP reagents were prepared and added to the sample following manufacturer’s instructions. The 384-wells plate was incubated 1 h at 22°C in the dark and was then read on a POLARstar microplate reader (BMG Labtech, Durham, NC, USA). Measurements at 620 nm and 665 nm were used to detect the TR-FRET signal and the concomitant cAMP levels were calculated following manufacturer’s instructions. Data were fitted by non-linear regression using GraphPad Prism 6.01.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
