ATP Binding Cassette transporters are transmembrane proteins with broad substrate specificity to transport compounds, including drugs and fluorescent dyes, out of a cell. They lower the effective intracellular concentrations of drugs and toxins, and play a critical role in drug resistance in cancer and other diseases. Although it isn’t the only MDR transporter, one of the most well known multidrug resistant (MDR) transporters in humans is P-glycoprotein (P-gp or ABCB1). P-gp is highly expressed in intestines and at the blood brain barrier, making it challenging to deliver some drugs across these tissue interfaces.

ION offers an affordable alternative to MDR-MDCK permeability assays that relies on competitive substrate binding to P-gp of a drug with the fluorescent reporter Calcein AM. The fluorescence signal of the dye inside cells is proportional to the activity of MDR transporters like P-gp. In the presence of a competitive P-gp substrate or a P-gp inhibitor, intracellular fluorescence due to calcein increases when compared to a negative control group. A fluorescence-based readout makes the assay simple to run on any fluorescence compatible device and also scalable for use in a well-plate format for high-throughput screening.
