Abstrakt: The cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA®) is a target engagement method widely used for preclinical characterization of small molecule compounds. CETSA® has been used for semi-quantitative readouts in whole blood with PBMC isolation, and quantitative, plate-based readouts using cell lines. However, there has been no quantitative evaluation of CETSA® in unprocessed human whole blood, which is preferred for clinical applications. Here we report two separate assay formats - Alpha CETSA® and MSD CETSA® - that require less than 100 μL of whole blood per sample without PBMC isolation. We chose RIPK1 as a proof-of-concept target and, by measuring engagement of seven different inhibitors, demonstrate high assay sensitivity and robustness. These quantitative CETSA® platforms enable possible applications in preclinical pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic studies, and direct target engagement with small molecules in clinical trials.
