Popis: The precise temperature control of the ABI Prism  7900HT Sequence Detection System designed for detection of fluores- cence of a biological sample in real-time PCR assays (TaqMan assays) was used to activate Thermo-TRP ion channels, enabling a novel 384-/96-well plate-based assay. Functional pharmacology was verified against the temperature activation using intracellular calcium fluorescence as a measure of ion channel activity. The assay is applicable to both heterologous expression systems and dorsal root ganglia primary cells. This will benefit several analgesic drug discovery programs search- ing for new Thermo-TRP modulators. (Journal of Biomolecular Screening 2009:662-667)
