High-Throughput Cell-Based Screening of Small Molecule KRAS Signaling Inhibitors Using a Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) Assay.

With recent advances proving that effective inhibition of KRAS is possible, there have been significant efforts made to develop inhibitors of specific mutant alleles. Here we describe a detailed protocol that employs homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) to identify compounds acting on KRAS signaling in malignant cell lines. This method allows for high-throughput, cell-based screens of large compound libraries for the development of RAS-targeted therapeutics.
