Effects on the ion-channel TRPV1. Receptor facilitation and inhibition by varying concentrations of Agonist and Antagonist when ligand is applied, the [EC80]/[IC80] could be determined. Experiments were performed in a TRPV1-expressing cell-line.

Cell-based Assays & custom cell-lines

Our Cell-based Assay services—including viability, cytotoxicity, proliferation, and a variety of signaling assays—are built on a foundation of scientific rigor and quality assurance.

Whether you're screening compounds or validating mechanisms of action. We can express your target in a model cell line or use a cell line of your choice.

TRPV1 receptor activation by Capsaicin concentration gradient, the receptor activation was measured in the presence of agonist or antagonist on the TRPV1-expressing cell-line.

A laser was used to generate a local pulse of heat to activate the heat-sensitive TRPV1 ion channel in cells. Combined with a microfluidic pipette, designed to rapidly switch between several drug treatments in a confined set of cells allowed for determining both ligands and heat activation of this ion channel.
