      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.

      5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, also commonly known as serotonin) is synthesized in enterochromaffin cells in the intestine and in serotonergic nerve terminals. In the periphery, 5-HT mediates gastrointestinal motility, platelet aggregation, and contraction of blood vessels. Many functions of the central nervous system are influenced by 5-HT, including sleep, motor activity, sensory perception, arousal and appetite. A family of 12 GPCRs and one ion channel mediate the biological effects of 5-HT (Hoyer et al., 1994). The 5-HT2B receptor, which couples to Gq/11 to increase intracellular calcium, is expressed in embryonic and adult cardiovascular tissues, gut and brain from the rat, mouse, and human species. A role for 5-HT2B receptors was suggested in the cardiopathy associated with fenfluramine (Fitzgerald et al., 2000) Millipore’s cloned human 5-HT2B expressing cell line is made in the CHO host, which supports high levels of recombinant 5-HT2B expression on the cell surface for functional detection via the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists and modulators at 5-HT2B.
