However, irregular expressions of LFA-1 or ICAM-1 or both may lead to autoimmune diseases, metastasis cancer, etc. Thus, the LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of these diseases. Here, we developed one simple ‘in solution’ steady state fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) technique to obtain the dissociation constant (Kd) of the interaction between LFA-1 and ICAM-1. Moreover, we developed the assay into a screening platform to identify peptides and small molecules that inhibit the LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction. For the FRET pair, we used Alexa Fluor 488-LFA-1 conjugate as donor and Alexa Fluor 555-human recombinant ICAM-1 (D1-D2-Fc) as acceptor. From our quantitative FRET analysis, the Kd between LFA-1 and D1-D2-Fc was determined to be 17.93±1.34 nM. Both the Kd determination and screening assay were performed in a 96-well plate platform, providing the opportunity to develop it into a high-throughput assay. This is the first reported work which applies FRET based technique to determine Kd as well as classifying inhibitors of the LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction. 000057862 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/SAF2011-25390 000057862 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000057862 590__ $$a3.234$$b2014 000057862 591__ $$aMULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES$$b9 / 57 = 0.158$$c2014$$dQ1$$eT1 000057862 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000057862 700__ $$aNúñez, David 000057862 700__ $$aHu, Shih-Yang 000057862 700__ $$aDomingo, María Pilar 000057862 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0154-0730$$aPardo, Julian$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000057862 700__ $$aKarmenyan, Artashes 000057862 700__ $$aGálvez, Eva M 000057862 700__ $$aChiou, Arthur 000057862 7102_ $$11008$$2566$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDepartamento de Microbiología, Medicina Preventiva y Salud Pública$$cInmunología 000057862 773__ $$g9, 7 (2014), e102572 [13 pp]$$pPLoS One$$tPLoS One$$x1932-6203 000057862 8564_ $$s628023$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/57862/files/texto_completo.pdf$$yVersión publicada 000057862 8564_ $$s122121$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/57862/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yVersión publicada 000057862 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:57862$$particulos$$pdriver 000057862 951__ $$a2018-05-15-09:59:17 000057862 980__ $$aARTICLE
