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.
The cardiac late Na+ current (late INa) generates persistent inward currents throughout the plateau phase of the ventricular action potential and is an important determinant of repolarisation rate, EADs and arrythmia risk. As inhibition of late INa can offset drug effects on hERG and other repolarising K+ conductances it is one of the key cardiac channels in the Comprehensive in vitro Proarrythmia Assay CiPA panel being developed by the FDA to improve human clinical arrythmia risk assessment.
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.
