CZ-OPENSCREEN uses different assays including biochemical (ligand binding and enzymatic activity assays) and cell-based assays (reporter, viability, apoptosis, cytotoxicity, proliferation, chemosensitivity, phenotypic and cell differentiation assays). Different readouts are available and routinely used such as luminescence, AlphaScreen, FRET/TR-FRET, HTRF, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence anisotropy, BRET, radioactivity-based scintillation and scintillation proximity assays, confocal microscopy, label-free impedance, and mass spectrometry. Most of the assays are miniaturized and are performed in 384- or 1536-well format.

Chemosensitive profiling
Chemosensitive profiling platform for systematic chemosensitive profiling of libraries of small molecules on the panel of cell lines of various histological origins. This service provides a unique complex information to chemist users about the potential clinical value of their compound library. The collection of cell lines represents cellular models for various types of cancers and is conceived to cover the most diverse types of tissues. Furthermore, each tissue is represented by one or more cell lines, according to the frequency that this type of oncological diseases contributes to the world's total cancer mortality. Systematic profiling of compound libraries provides information about the phenotypic changes, cytotoxic and anti-proliferative properties of compounds in each cell line. The association of obtained activity profiles with genetic background and specifically accumulated mutations in respective cell lines allows to identify specific pathways/processes/receptors utilised by small molecules.

ReceptorX platform
The platform consists of different panels of biochemical and cell-based assays and represents exclusive asset of the infrastructure, accessible to large scientific community from both academia and industry. The core of the platform consists of selective and sensitive clonal reporter cell lines for individual nuclear receptors employing multiple reporter luciferase enzymes. The platform is built as a complex multi-level system of different assay types allowing for profiling of large compound libraries with exceptionally low rate of false positives as well as for detailed selectivity studies of small focused chemical libraries providing highly biologically relevant information about compound activities.
Nuclear receptors: ERα, ERβ, AR, PR, GR, MR, ERRγ, FXR, LXRα, LXRβ, PPARα, PPARβ, PPARγ, PXR, CAR, TRα, TRβ RARα, RARβ, RARγ, VDR, RXRα, RXRβ, RXRγ, RORα, RORβ, RORγ, NURR1, SF-1, LRH-1, NGFI-B

PathWAY platform
The platform is based on cell-based luciferase reporter cell lines that are used to identify regulators (agonists/antagonists) of various signaling pathways: e.g. Wnt pathway (GO:0016055, R-HSA-195721), hypoxia pathway (GO:0071456, R-HSA-12341740), Shh pathway (GO:0007224), calcineurin/NF-AT signaling (GO:003317300), cAMP signaling (GO:0019933), NFkB signaling (GO:0007249), IL-6 signaling (GO:0070102), p53/DNA damage response (GO:0006976).
