In vitro electrophysiology ICa assay in primary cardiomyocytes:
Assay platform/method |
Conventional patch clamp |
Cells used in the assay |
Acutely isolated cardiomyocytes from guinea pig or rabbit |
Measured parameters |
Whole cell current of calcium channels, mainly L-type calcium channels |
Test concentrations |
4 doses for IC50 |
Data point repeats |
N ≥ 3 for each concentration |
Note: 1) Positive control: 0.03 mM CdCl2 is used in the assay to ensure cell quality and normal response of calcium channels.
2) 1 or 2 doses could be tested if IC50 is not required.
