Duolink in situ proximity ligation assay pla

Manufactured by Olink
Sourced in Sweden

Duolink in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) is a laboratory technique used to detect and visualize protein-protein interactions in fixed cells or tissues. It utilizes a pair of oligonucleotide-labeled antibodies that bind to the target proteins, and when the proteins are in close proximity, the oligonucleotides can be joined, amplified, and detected as a fluorescent signal.

Detecting AT1R/μOR Heterodimers in Rat Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Duolink in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA; OLINK Bioscience, Uppsala, Sweden) was utilized to detect the formation of AT1R/μOR heterodimers. The NTSs of SHRs and WKY were examined to detect the formation of AT1R (sc-515884) and μOR (bs-3623R) heterodimers in situ. The rats were first perfused in saline, then 4% formaldehyde, and finally 30% sucrose solution. Brainstem’s microsections of 5 μm thickness were obtained. Primary antibody diluent (OLINK Bioscience), containing two primary antibodies (1:100 for goat anti-μ receptor antibodies and 1:100 rabbit anti-AT1R antibodies), was added to the sections, and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Next, PLA secondary antibody with specific oligonucleotides, anti-rabbit plus and anti-goat minus (OLINK Bioscience), were applied to the sections and incubated for 2 h at 37 °C. Samples underwent ligation to allow nearby oligonucleotide probe pairs to form closed circles, and signals were amplified in the amplification solution. Images were acquired using a confocal laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss LSM 5 PASCAL), and were further processed by LSM 5 PASCAL software (Version 3.5, Carl Zeiss), which automatically counted the number of spots per unit of surface area.

Detecting PD-L1 and p-EGFR Interactions via Duolink PLA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Duolink in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA; Olink Bioscience) was used to detect the interactions of PD-L1 and p-EGFR (23 (link)). Immunofluorescence was performed as previously described (22 (link)). Oligonucleotide-conjugated PLA probe antibodies were directed against the primary antibodies for PD-L1 and p-EGFR. Annealing of the PLA probe occurred when PD-L1 and p-EGFR were in close proximity, which initiates the amplification of repeat sequences recognized by the fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probe. For detection, Duolink detection kit 563 was used. The samples were imaged via confocal fluorescence microscopy (FV1000S-SIM/IX81, Japan).

Investigating p53 Interactions with PBF Using In Vitro Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WT p53 and deletion mutants were cloned into pGEX4T-1 for bacterial expression. L-α-[35S]-methionine-labeled PBF was expressed in vitro using a TNT T7 Coupled Reticulocyte Lysate System according to the manufacturer’s guidelines (Promega). In vitro glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pull-down assays using [35S]-PBF and GST-p53 proteins were performed using established protocols (35 ). GST pull-down and coimmunoprecipitation (co-IP) assays were performed as described previously (9 (link)). The Duolink in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) was performed according to manufacturer’s instructions (Olink Bioscience). In our experiments thyroid cells were seeded onto coverslips and transfected with expression vectors for p53 (pcDNA3-p53) and HA-tagged PBF (pcDNA3-PBF) 24 hours later prior to the PLA assay.

Immunofluorescence was performed as described previously (21 (link)). A Zeiss confocal LSM 510 microscope was used to perform confocal microscopy. Images were processed with ImageJ (http://imagej.net/Coloc_2) to determine Pearson's colocalization coefficients (39 (link)). Epifluorescent microscopy was performed on a Zeiss Axioplan fluorescent microscope. Human thyroid tissue was immunostained using the Novolink polymer detection kit (Leica) as per manufacturer's instructions. Slides were viewed under a light microscope (Zeiss) and images captured using Axiovision software. The Duolink in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) was performed according to manufacturer's instructions (Olink Bioscience).

Detection of SPEN/MTA1 Protein Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect the SPEN/MTA1 interactions, the DuoLink in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) (Olink Bioscience, Uppsala, Sweden) was used according to the manufacturer's protocol. Reactions were performed on sections (6-8 µm) of formalinfixed (4% in PBS, overnight at 4°C) and paraffin-embedded mouse testes. An antigen retrieval step in 0.01 M citrate buffer pH 6.0 was performed before the procedure. Sections were washed in PBS (3 × 5 min), incubated in Blocking Solution (Olink Bioscience) and immunolabeled (overnight, 4°C) with primary antibodies: rabbit anti-SPEN (N-terminal (1:200; PAB20849, Abnova), internal (1:170; A301-119A, Bethyl Laboratories) or C-terminal (1:30; NB100-58799, Novus Biologicals)), and goat anti-MTA1 (1:70; sc-9446, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) diluted in 1% BSA in PBS; negative controls were proceeded without one primary antibody or both. Then, the secondary antibodies with attached PLA probes (PLA Probe anti-Rabbit PLUS and PLA Probe anti-Goat MINUS; supplied in the DuoLink kit) were used. Signals of analyzed complexes were observed using Zeiss Axio Imager.M2 fluorescent microscope with AxioCam camera and AxioVision (Rel.4.8) imaging system; red fluorescence signal indicated a close proximity (<40 nm) of proteins recognized by both antibodies (Fredriksson et al. 2002) (link). Images were taken at ×1008 magnification in several focal planes.

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.
