TABLE 4.
ELISA assays for selected 4-ATQs.25,26 Primary assays: (a) GLP-1 secretion from mouse secretin tumor (mSTC-1) intestinal enteroendocrine cells (mSTC-1 GLP1 Sec) with percent stimulation determination at 20 μM and 2 μM concentration of test compound. (b) Concentration–response curve (CRC) based determination of the concentration that produces a half-maximum response (EC50) in GLP-1 secretion from mSTC-1 cells (mSTC-1 GLP1 Sec). (c) CRC-based determination of EC50 in GLP-1 release from a human cell line derived from ascites fluid of a colorectal adenocarcinoma (hNCI-H716 GLP1 Sec CRC). (d) Cytolethality counter assay measuring leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from mSTC-1 cells (mSTC-1 LDH Sec). (e) Cytolethality counter assay measuring LDH leakage from hNCI cells (Basal hNCI LDH Sec). Secondary assay: GLP-1 secretion in a cell line derived from colonic tumors of transgenic mice expressing large T antigen under the control of the proglucagon promoter (GLUTag GLP1 Sec). ND = not determined.
