5′-I-RTX was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Other reagents were sourced as described.13 (link) Functional studies were conducted on a fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPRTETRA) which monitored effects of capsaicin or mild acid on Ca2+ uptake into recombinant HEK293 cells expressing rat or human TRPV1 as described previously.13 (link) Antagonism of heat activation was measured at 48°C by using a custom made device (GNF Systems, San Diego, CA) for the control of temperature. Telemeters were inserted into male Sprague-Dawley rats and temperature was monitored as detailed elsewhere.13 (link) Pharmacokinetic parameters were monitored by procedures as described.13 (link)

Quantifying TRPV1 Receptor Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Receptor binding characteristics were studied by displacement assays using TRPV1 selective agonists (capsaicin, anandamide, and RTX; Sigma Aldrich) and antagonists (capsazepine, 5-I-RTX, and SB-366791; Sigma Aldrich). Aliquots of 100 µL of membrane suspension (1 mg protein/mL) were incubated with increasing concentrations (10-10-10-3 M) of the TRPV1 unlabelled agonists and antagonists in presence of 1.2 nM 3[H]RTX. The concentration of unlabelled ligand that it took to inhibit 50% (IC50) of 3[H]RTX specific binding was determined from the competition curves obtained by nonlinear regression analysis of the data (GraphPad Prism; GraphPad Software). The fit of the one-site model was tested by R2 by nonlinear regression and by the runs test. The affinity constant (Ki) for the competitors were calculated using the Cheng-Prussoff equation [17 (link)].

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.
