The techniques and principles of work with human carcinoma cell lines under sterile conditions. Cultivation of human liver hepatocellular cells HepG2, trypsinization and passaging of cells, determination of a number and a viability, a cell seeding. Transient transfection of cells with a reporter plasmid using a lipofection technique. Design of the pharmacological experiment, preparation of solutions of agonists and antagonists, treatment of transiently transfected HepG2 cells. Cell lysis permeabilization using surfactant, determining the catalytic activity of firefly luciferase using an automatic chemiluminometry. Calculation of IC50 values for the antagonist and agonist EC50.
