General description
CB1 is a GPCR that is expressed primarily in brain and nervous tissue, and mediates numerous CNS responses such as analgesia, appetite, cognition, memory and locomotor activity. A number of cannabinoid ligands bind to CB1 and activate Gi/o-mediated downstream responses, including inhibition of cAMP production and activation of ion channels and MAP kinases. Ligands for CB1 include exogenous agonists such as Delta9-THC, the main psychoactive component of the plant Cannabis sativa, and endogenous eicosanoid agonists such as anandamide. A number of synthetic agonists such as CP55940 and R-(+)-WIN55212, and antagonists, such as SR141716A, for CB1 have been developed (Howlett et al., 2002). CB1 agonists have clinical utility in analgesia and antiemetic properties, whereas CB1 antagonists show promise for treatment of appetite in obesity disorders. Chemicon′s CB1 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening for agonists and antagonists at CB1. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 7 nM for [3H]-SR141716A. In the presence of 2 nM [3H]-SR141716A with CP55940 as unlabeled competitor, 5 μg/well and 10 μg/well CB1 Membrane Prep yield 4- and 5-fold signal-to-background ratios, respectively.

Inucbation Conditions
RECOMMENDED ASSAY CONDITIONS: Membranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, a GF/C 96-well filter plate is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.
Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C. Ligands were diluted in binding buffer containing 30% DMSO, then added to membranes such that the final DMSO concentration was 15%.Radioligand: [3H] SR141716A (Amersham #TRK1028)
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.
One vial contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where an unit is the amount of membrane that will yield approximately 4-fold signal:background with [3H] SR141716A at 2 nM
