Figure 1. Secretin (28-54)-induced concentration-dependent stimulation of intracellular calcium mobilization in CHO-K1/SCTR/Gα15 cells. The cells were loaded with Calcium-4 (Cat. No. R8142, Molecular Devices) prior to being stimulated with agonist secretin (28-54) (Cat. No. HY-P1465A, MCE). The intracellular calcium change was measured by FLIPR. The relative fluorescent units (RFU) were recorded and plotted against the log of the cumulative doses of secretin (28-54) (Mean ± SEM, n = 3). The EC50 of secretin (28-54) on this cell was 0.11 μM.
Notes:
EC50 value is calculated with four parameter logistic equation:
Y=Bottom + (Top-Bottom) / (1+10^((LogEC50-X)*Hill Slope))
X is the logarithm of concentration. Y is the response
Y is ∆RFU and starts at Bottom and goes to Top with a sigmoid shape.

Figure 2. Dose dependent stimulation of intracellular cAMP accumulation upon treatment with secretin (28-54) in CHO-K1/SCTR/Gα15 cells. d2 acceptor fluorophore-labeled cAMP (Cat. No. 62AM4PEB; Revvity) and intracellular cAMP in CHO-K1/SCTR/Gα15 cells competitively bind with Europium Cryptate-labeled anti-cAMP antibody. The FRET signal decreases as the intracellular cAMP concentration rises and was measured by plate reader (Pherastar, BMG). The EC50 of secretin (28-54) on CHO-K1/SCTR/Gα15 cells was 73.88 pM. »
