A receptor-based binding assay for the determination of cholinergic compounds of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor has been developed. By conducting the assay In a 96-well microtiter plate, the method Is suitable for large-scale screening In drug development. Solid-phase extraction of the enzyme label significantly simplifies the assay protocol compared to earlier methods. The assay Is based on Immobilization of biotin-BSA on the mlcrotHer which takes up avldln-labeled peroxidase due to avidin-biotin Interaction. To perform the assay, a ligand (the analyte) and a biotin a-bungarotoxin conjugate (aBgt-blotln) sequentially bind to a vesicle bound nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. ThisIs done either In a test tube, assay I, or In a biotinylated mlcrottter well, assay II. Avidln-HRP Is then added to this mixture; free aBgt-blotln conjugate and Immobilized biotin-BSA compete for the avidin sites. After the assay solution has been aspirated off, bound enzyme activity Is determined which Is directly related to the amount of aBgt-blotln added. Dose-response curves of cholinergic compounds and Scatchard plots were generated to evaluate the apparent binding constants. Kinetic studies were conducted for the purpose of optimization. The final assay can be performed In under 4 h with a minimum of sample handling.
