DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ β2 Adrenergic Receptor Frozen Cells
Background InformationMillipore’s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

The endogenous catecholamines epinephrine, and norepinephrine have profound effects on smooth muscle activity, cardiac function, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, hormone secretion, neurotransmitter release, and central nervous system actions. These activities are mediated by GPCRs belonging to two subfamilies, the α- and β-adrenergic receptors (Bylund et al., 1994). The β-adrenergic receptors, primarily the β2 subtype, mediate relaxation of smooth muscle in many tissues, and β2-selective agonists are the preferred drugs for stimulating bronchodilation in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Sears and Lotvall, 2005). Activation of the β-adrenergic receptors, primarily the β1 subtype and to a lesser extent the β2 subtype, acutely increases heart rate, cardiac output, and cardiac automaticity, and chronically increases cardiac myocyte apoptosis. As a result, β -adrenergic receptor antagonists (β blockers) are effective in the treatment of congestive heart failure and arrhythmia (Feldman et al., 2005). Millipore’s cloned human β2-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant β2 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists, and modulators at β2.
