DOI: 10.1177/1087057102239668 Oncology Drug Discovery Applications Using the FmatTM 8100 Hts System
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, 556 Morris Ave., Summit, NJ 07901. dennis.france@pharma.novartis.com High-throughput screening (HTS) for potential anticancer agents requires a broad portfolio of assay platforms that may include kinase enzyme assays, protein-protein binding assays, and functional cell-based apoptosis assays. The authors have explored the use of fluorometric microvolume assay technology (the FMATTM 8100 HTS System) in three distinct homogeneous HTS assays: (1) a Src tyrosine kinase enzyme assay, (2) a Grb2-SH2 protein-peptide interaction assay, and (3) an annexin V binding apoptosis assay. Data obtained from all three assays suggest that the FMAT system should facilitate the implementation of homogeneous assays for a wide variety of molecular targeted and cell-based screens.
