Principle of time-resolved Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA) to quantify stability of high-affinity radio-ligand binding to GPCRs. by Randi Westh Hansen (2585833)

“…When radioligands bind to immobilized receptors, energy from the radioisotope decay is efficiently transferred to the scintillator contained in the beads, thus generating a detectable light signal. If the buffer, including detergent, causes the loss of receptor affinity to radiolabeled ligand, the signal will start to decrease irreversibly. …”
