We demonstrate the generation and validation of a stable CHO-hHCN2 cell line used as a cellular tool in the successful development of hHCN2 automated electrophysiology screening assays.
Here we outline our example where a pharma company interested in ion channels, but lacking expertise and screening platforms turned to a specialist CRO to fill this knowledge gap. In our case a Japanese pharma company with plate-based assay data wanted to expand medicinal chemistry SAR by accessing high quality APC and ion channel expertise.
During the collaboration selective Kv1.3 modulators with nM potency and efficacy against human T-cells were identified.
We demonstrate the generation and validation of a stable CHO-hHCN2 cell line used as a cellular tool in the successful development of hHCN2 automated electrophysiology screening assays.
We have developed a robust high-throughput automated electrophysiology assay using a monoclonal CHO-hNav1.9 cellular reagent suitable for fully supporting a Nav1.9 discovery program.
