Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proximity ligation assay (PLA) to detect ASRGL1 and TDP-43 interaction was performed with the Duolink Proximity Ligation Assay kit (Millipore Sigma) in HEK293 transfected cells and brain slides, following manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, samples were blocked with Duolink® Blocking Solution for 60 min at 37 °C. Then, primary antibodies were applied (ASRGL1: Atlas HPA05572 (rabbit). TDP-43: Proteintech (mouse)) at 1:200 in Duolink antibody diluent, and samples were incubated overnight in a humidity chamber at room temperature. Then, minus and plus probes were diluted 1:5 in the Duolink antibody diluent. The slides were washed twice in wash buffer A and incubated with the probes for 1 h at 37 °C. Samples were again washed twice in wash buffer A and incubated with ligase for 30 min at 37 °C. Samples were once again washed twice in wash buffer A. Then, polymerase was added, and slides were incubated for 100 min at 37 °C. Slides were washed twice in wash buffer B 1x and once in wash buffer B 0.01x. Slides were mounted with Duolink mounting media with DAPI and analyzed by confocal microscopy. Since the levels of ASRGL1 are higher in normal controls than in ALS individuals, negative controls were produced from slides from normal controls: (1) No primary antibodies, (2) Only TDP-43 antibody, (3) Only ASRGL1 antibody, (4) TDP-43 antibody + Control isotype IgG.

To perform the proximity ligation assay we used Sigma’s DuoLink Proximity Ligation assay kit (Millipore Sigma DUO92101–1KT). Cells were fixed and stained as described in the immunostaining section of the methods for vimentin and proteasomes through the primary incubation step, this time using a mouse vimentin antibody (Abcam ab20346; 1:1,000). After overnight incubation with primary antibodies, NSCs were washed with buffer A from the kit twice for 5 minutes at room temperature. PLUS and MINUS probes were diluted in antibody buffer (see immunostaining section of methods) 1:5 and then applied to NSCs for 1 hour at 37°C. NSCs were washed with buffer A from the kit twice for 5 minutes at room temperature. 1xDuoLink Ligation Buffer (diluted in water) and ligase diluted 1:40 were applied to NSCs for 30 minutes at 37°C. NSCs were washed with buffer A from the kit twice for 5 minutes at room temperature. 1x DuoLink Amplification Buffer (diluted in water) with polymerase diluted 1:80 was applied to NSCs for 100 minutes at 37°C. NSCs were washed with buffer B from the kit twice for 10 minutes at room temperature and stained with Hoechst as described in the immunostaining section of the methods.

Protein interactions were detected via Duolink proximity ligation assay kit (Merck, DUO92105) using an anti-rabbit plus probe and an anti-goat minus probe as according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, cells isolated by dissociation were fixed for immunocytochemistry as above, then blocked with the kit blocking solution for 1 h at room temperature. Antibodies were applied at a ratio of 1:100 with kit antibody diluent solution and incubated overnight at 4°C. Following this, Duolink probes were added to cells at a ratio of 1:5 with kit diluent solution and incubated for 1 h at 37°C in a humidified chamber and excess was washed in kit wash buffer. Cells were incubated in a humidified chamber heated to 37°C in kit solutions for ligation of probes (30 min), and amplification of the signal (100 min), then cells were counterstained with 4′-6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The plus and minus probes were bound to the anti-WNT3A antibody, and antibody anti-FRZB, respectively. Where the distance between the two bound probes is <40 nm a red signal is generated, which indicates an interaction of proteins of interest [30 (link)].

A Duolink® proximity ligation assay kit (Merck, DUO92102, Darmstadt, Germany) was used to perform the proximity ligation assay by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Anti-USP53 Rabbit polyclonal Ab (Thermo Fisher, PA5-57424) was conjugated with a PLUS nucleotide probe, while anti-CYCS mouse monoclonal Ab was conjugated with a MINUS nucleotide probe. All images were visualized and captured using an Olympus Fluoview 1000 laser scanning confocal microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). The MitoTracker was purchased from Beyotime (C1048, Shanghai, China), while DAPI was obtained from Servicebio (G1012, Wuhan, China).

Duolink Proximity Ligation Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Duolink proximity ligation assay (PLA) kit (DUO92008, Sigma, Bornem, Belgium) was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Primary antibodies were used at dilution 1:75 (Myoferlin, MFN1/2) or 1:100 (others). Oligonucleotide conjugated secondary antibodies were provided by the kit allowing the detection of a red signal if less than 40 nm separate both proteins of interest. Pictures were acquired using Nikon A1R confocal microscope. In each microscopic field, proximity dots were counted using ImageJ software [24 (link)] and divided by the number of nuclei to calculate an average proximity dots number per cell. To analyze PLA, we wrote a script to automatically analyze the data in a standardized way. The script is available at [26 ].

Protein–protein interactions between endogenous proteins were detected by using a Duolink proximity ligation assay (PLA) kit (Sigma-Aldrich). The PLA probe anti-Rabbit MINUS binds to the TASK-3 antibody; whereas, the PLA probe anti-Goat PLUS binds to the TWIK-1 antibody. After pre-incubation with a blocking agent for 1 h, the frozen sectioned hippocampal tissues were incubated overnight with primary antibodies to TASK-3 (1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and TWIK-1 (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA). Duolink PLA probes detecting rabbit or goat antibodies were diluted in the antibody diluent to a concentration of 1:5 and applied to the slides, followed by incubation for 2 h in a preheated humidity chamber at 37 °C. Duolink hybridization stock (dilution 1:5) was used to hybridize the two Duolink PLA probes, which were incubated in a preheated humidity chamber for 30 min at 37 °C and then incubated in a ligation solution consisting of Duolink ligation stock (1:5) and Duolink Ligase (1:40) for 90 min at 37 °C. Detection of the amplified probe was performed with the Duolink detection kit with the Duolink detection stock diluted at 1:5 and applied for 1 h at 37 °C. The final washing steps were performed in saline sodium citrate buffer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
