Trevigen Announces a Highly Sensitive, Fluorescent, One Hour PARP Inhibition Assay

PARP Activity Diagram

PARP Activity Diagram

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, through ribosylation of nuclear proteins, converts DNA Damage into intracellular signals that actuate either DNA repair or cell death. The development of inhibitors to PARP is of ever increasing interest in the drug discovery community since they can be used as modulators of DNA repair mediated resistance to cytotoxic cancer therapeutics. Until now, commercially available PARP assay kits required multiple steps and were time consuming.

Trevigen overcomes these drawbacks with the release of the HT Fluorescent Homogeneous PARP Inhibition Assay. The fluorescent assay is based on the consumption of NAD+ in the PARP ribosylation reaction where NAD+ not consumed by PARP is subsequently measured by a cycling reaction in which a highly fluorescent molecule is produced; therefore an increase in signal positively correlates to increased PARP inhibition. The subject of a Trevigen patent application, it is a simple assay requiring only 1.5 hours from start to finish. The 96 test assay requires no wash steps, and detects as little as 10% inhibition ofPARP Activity. The assay is ideal for the determination of IC50 values for PARP Inhibitors.

Related Products from Trevigen include PARP and PARG assay kits, PARP enzymes and PARP antibodies. Visit www.trevigen.com or contact us at 1800-873-8443 or info@trevigen.com for more information.

HT PARP in vivo Pharmacodynamic Assay II
Trevigen announces a validated assay, with higher sensitivity and pre-coated antibody plates to measure the effectiveness of PARP inhibitors in cell and tissue lysates for anticancer drug screening. Pharmacodynamic (PD) assays have recently been developed and employed early in the drug screening process to assess the ability of potential drug candidates to affect molecular targets. These assays have the advantages of performing molecular proof-of-concept investigations at an early stage such as

Trevigen Announces the First Standardized Comet Assay Electrophoresis System
The comet assay is the only direct method for the detection of DNA damage in cells. It is used in cancer research, in genotoxicity studies on environmental mutagens, and for screening compounds for cancer therapeutics. Based on single cell gel electrophoresis in a controlled pH environment, the assay allows the integrity of stained nuclear DNA to be examined and measured. Until now, a lack of standardization in electrophoresis equipment, control cells,

Trevigen announces the release of Four New Assay Kits for 3-D Cell Proliferation
Many scientists are converting from growing cells in a traditional 2-D Monolayer on plastic surfaces with tissue culture medium to “3-D” Culture. In 3-D Culture, cells are grown in a microenvironment of specialized proteins which mimics in vivo conditions and allows the cells to organize into complex structures rather than uniform monolayers. Various types of cells require different specialized proteins for optimal growth conditions and these extracellular matrices can play
