    摘要: The present invention includes a system and method that uses optical LID biosensors to monitor in real time agonist-induced GPCR signaling events within living cells. Particularly, the present invention includes a system and method for using an optical LID biosensor to screen compounds against a target GPCR within living cells based on the mass redistribution due to agonist-induced GPCR activation. In an extended embodiment, the present invention discloses different ways for self-referencing the optical LID biosensor to eliminate unwanted sensitivity to ambient temperature, pressure fluctuations, and other environmental changes. In yet another extended embodiment, the present invention discloses different ways for screening multiple GPCRs in a single type of cell or multiple GPCRs in multiple types of cells within a single medium solution. In still yet another extended embodiment, the present invention discloses different ways to confirm the physiological or pharmacological effect of a compound against a specific GPCR within living cells.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods to classify human ether-à-go-go related gene (hERG) ion channel modulators using label-free biosensors. Disclosed is the use of label-free resonant waveguide grating (RWG) biosensors to reveal the patterns of the DMR signals of hERG modulators across three types of cell lines (a native cell line endogenously expressing hERG, a native cell line without hERG and its engineered cell line stably expressed hERG), as well as the corresponding modulation index of the modulators molecules against a hERG activator acting on a panel of markers/cells, particularly the known hERG activator mallotoxin DMR signals in the two hERG expressing cell lines.

    摘要: An article for culturing cells includes a substrate on which cells can be cultured. The substrate has a base surface. An array of projections extends from the base surface. The projections have a height of about 1 micrometer to about 100 micrometers, and have a gap distance along the major surface from center to center between neighboring projections of about 10 micrometers to 80 micrometers. A plurality of arrays of projections may extend from the surface with gaps in the base surface between the arrays. Hepatocytes cultures on such microprojection array substrates maintained in vivo like morphology and membrane polarity. Hepatocytes co-cultured with helper cells on such substrates tended to grow in the area of the arrays, while the helper cells tended to grow in the areas between the arrays.

    摘要: Methods for performing surface-mediated protein delivery into living cells, and fabricating protein-transfected cell cluster arrays are provided. The method comprises providing a protein-containing mixture; depositing said protein-containing mixture onto a surface at defined locations; affixing the protein-containing mixture to the surface as microspots; and plating cells onto the surface in sufficient density and under conditions for the proteins to be delivered into the cells. The protein-containing mixture comprises any suitable amino acid sequence, including peptides, proteins, protein-domains, antibodies, or protein-nucleic acid conjugates, etc., with a carrier reagent. Protein-transfected cell arrays may be used for rapid and direct, screening of protein or enzymatic functions or any given intracellular protein interaction in the natural environment of a living cell, as well as for high-throughput screening of other biological and chemical analytes, which affect the functions of these proteins.
