<p>Disclosed are methods to classify human ether-à-go-go related gene (hERG) ion channel modulators using label-free biosensors. Disclosed is the use of label-free resonant waveguide grating (RWG) biosensors to reveal the patterns of the DMR signals of hERG modulators across three types of cell lines (a native cell line endogenously expressing hERG, a native cell line without hERG and its engineered cell line stably expressed hERG), as well as the corresponding modulation index of the modulators molecules against a hERG activator acting on a panel of markers/cells, particularly the known hERG activator mallotoxin DMR signals in the two hERG expressing cell lines.</p> |
