Cellular c-Met phosphorylation ELISA: A549 cells with endogenous human WT c-Met are seeded in 96-well plates in growth medium and cultured overnight. On the second day of the assay, the growth medium is replaced with serum-free medium (with 0.04% BSA). Serial dilutions of PF-04217903 are added to each well, and cells are incubated at 37 °C for 1 hour. Then 40 ng/mL HGF is added to the cells for 20 minutes. The cells are washed once with HBSS supplemented with 1 mM Na3VO4, and protein lysates are generated from cells using lysis buffer. Phosphorylation of c-Met is assessed by an ELISA method utilizing capture antibodies specific for c-Met and a detection antibody specific for phosphorylated tyrosine residues. Antibody-coated plates are incubated in the presence of protein lysates at 4 °C overnight and washed with 1% Tween 20 in PBS seven times. HRP-PY20 (horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-phosphotyrosine) is diluted 1:500 in blocking buffer and added to each plate for 30 minutes. Plates are then washed again, and TMB peroxidase substrate is added to initiate the HRP-dependent colorimetric reaction and the reaction stopped by addition of 0.09 N H2SO4. ELISA end points are the absorbance measured at 450 nm using a spectrophotometer. IC50 value is calculated by concentration-response curve fitting utilizing a Microsoft Excel-based four-parameter analytical met
Cells are treated with different concentrations PF-04217903 for 4 days. Cell proliferation is assessed by counting content of each well using a Coulter counter machine.(Only for Reference)
