Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Biotechnology
  • Cellular Biology

Background:

  • The Fluorometric Imaging Plate Reader (FLIPR) is a key technology in modern drug discovery.
  • Conventional plate readers lack the temporal resolution and multi-well capabilities of FLIPR.
  • FLIPR's ability to measure dynamic intracellular changes is essential for functional assays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe generic methods for assessing intracellular Ca(2+) using the FLIPR system.
  • To highlight the advantages of FLIPR in drug discovery screening.
  • To explain FLIPR's utility in characterizing compound libraries.

Main Methods:

  • Simultaneous fluorescence emission measurement from 96- or 384-well plates.
  • High temporal resolution recording of dynamic intracellular processes (e.g., Ca(2+) flux, membrane potential, pH).
  • Application in functional assays to distinguish agonists and antagonists.

Main Results:

  • FLIPR facilitates rapid distinction between full agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists.
  • The system is valuable for interrogating large compound libraries.
  • Automated FLIPR systems enhance ultra-high throughput screening capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • FLIPR significantly contributes to drug discovery by enabling efficient screening of functional cellular responses.
  • Its capacity for simultaneous, high-temporal-resolution measurements makes it superior to conventional plate readers.
  • The described methods provide a foundation for utilizing FLIPR in Ca(2+) flux assays.
